App gives runners a boost with flesh-eating zombies

If your standard running routine needs an adrenaline boost, maybe flesh-eating zombies will do the trick.

An app called Zombies, Run!, is a narrated game where real-world runners must out run zombies and collect supplies to keep themselves and their fellow humans alive - and the only way to do that, is to hit the pavement.

'When you're out running, you'll occasionally get chased by zombies and you'll need to speed up in response over the next minute,' said the app's co-creator Adrian Hon.

'That's very much like interval training, which is one of the best ways to get fit and to improve cardio. But it's incredibly hard to make yourself do it because it's painful. But when you're being chased by zombies, well that's another thing,' he said.
