About this app

Zombies, Run! 5k Training is an 8-week training program and audio adventure for beginners that’ll improve your fitness so you can run a 5km distance.

We give you clear and detailed instructions about when to walk, jog, run and stretch, building up your confidence and stamina over 25 workouts - combined with a gripping story delivered straight to your headphones.

(If you already have running experience, check out our “Zombies, Run!” app with extra features including 200 more missions, Zombie Chase interval training, a base-building game, time and distance audio notifications, and more!)

Zombies, Run! 5k Training comes from the creators of Zombies, Run! (Six to Start & Naomi Alderman), the world’s most successful smartphone exercise game with 4 million players worldwide.

Featured by the New York Times, BBC, Time, Wired, and Runner's World!

Just did the first mission today, and I am so HOOKED! This was such a blast! My running route ended in perfect timing, too. Just as I started running for my car in the distance, pretending it was the safe house, the gunshots started as Runner 5 made it to the town. I'm very new to running and was looking for an app that would help me to pace myself as I grow as a runner, so I don't go too hard too fast. I was NOT expecting to find something so dang fun with such great production quality. 5⭐!

I hate running. But, the story was really engaging and motivated me to actually finish all 8 weeks! I'm still walking and jogging more than running, but it's a start. One thing I noticed is that after you complete Week 8, Run 3 it doesn't show as Completed on your dashboard or the meter thing to track progress. It's fortunately in the run logs (or else I would have been really upset! That was my fastest run by far!)

Let me caveat this: I happily pay for the yearly subscription on 'Zombies, Run!'. After I had Littlest Runner5, I wanted to build back up. This app isn't good. It's not worth $4. It's not integrated with ZR!, & when it crashes (it will if you are using any other apps while you run. My camera & messenger apps have both crashed it) you have to restart the whole mission. Guys, you've fixed this! Why does it still happen on this? The story line doesn't add much, just get the main game & a good plan.

Hi! To stop the app from closing, try changing your battery optimization settings: Go to Settings - Device Maintenance Tap Battery Scroll to Unmonitored Apps Tap the 3-dot menu Add Zombies, Run! To the list of unmonitored Apps Alternative, switch off App Power Monitor altogether
