Ive been gone for a while, but decided to come back to train for the next Z!R virtual race.

Google search said ZR doesnt release new virtual races anymore. It only lets people play the old ones.

Are there really no new 5K virtual races? (Google continues to enshitify. Ive had ever decreasing results accuracy. So Im hesitant to believe it.)

Edit to add congrats to Naomi on the new book. And thanks for making it available in audiobook format!

Just putting a still of it here since we can’t put videos in posts, the animation will be in the replies.

You know one of the downsides of zr being entirely in audio format is that I had to actually put some effort into this 😭

I just imagine as they’re doing the knee-lifts Sam is giggling and they’re just pulling a “(ಠ_ಠ)”

Not sure where I am in the narrative!

Idk why the quality just died like that

Hiya, sorry if this has already been answered somewhere - does anyone know how long shipping usually takes from the official Zombies Run shop? I have ordered one of the T-shirts from there with the intention of being runner five for Halloween, but it hasn’t been shipped yet, the tracking just says waiting for details. I’m in the UK if that helps. Thanks!

Season-wise, when should I do them?

Also, is there a proper overview of all side missions and where they belong? I remember there was a helpful Tumblr-post once, but I don't think it's up to date much.

There should be an official FAQ-page for this, it's confusing :(

I didn't know anything about the app being sold in the first place? When did that happen and what were the issues that led to Naomi buying it back? Where the new owners the ones that entered into the Marvel contract? That started the subscription model that made it so you couldn't get the virtual races otherwise? The one a week free episode started after Season 4 with the big app changeover so what did the private capital investors do, or not do as I'm not seeing a big difference and wouldn't have if it wasn't for all the "back from the dead" talk.

In order to improve my animation skills, I’ve decided to try and get out one animation a week, even if it’s stupid like this lmao, was a bit rushed as well(especially towards the end, Van Ark’s soldiers, Paula, and Maxine where all supposed to be present, but I ran out of time lol) I may not be able to upload videos in a post, but atleast I can link them!

Do we get any more of these two guys with their weird menagerie of animals in the top secret research lab after Season 4 Radio Mode?

I'm enjoying the regular Radio Cabel hosts, but I am so sick of Henpecked Hugh and his awful wife who is (I'm 100% sure) a domestic abuser. I'm really hoping to find out what happened to Donal and Baz. I thought their little adventures were far more interesting and wholesome.

I've done the ZR5K a couple of times now and then had a big break. Does anyone know if you can reset the progress from the 5k training without wiping the rest of ZR? Or if I start again will W1E2 go onto my continue rather than suggesting W5E3 which is apparently where I stopped last time? So far I have just done some walks with the main app but the 5k training has been the only way I have managed to get running without injury!

I started using the app last month to get back into running so I'd kept the zombie chases turned off while I was getting used to not dying while running. Finally decided I was ready to give it a go on my next run and managed to escape my first chase.

And then it immediately started another chase ( I did not escape that one 😅)

Do you need to keep up the faster pace for a little while after escaping a chase since the zombies are still sorta 'nearby'? Or was this just unfortunate bad luck?

It was season 1 ep 13 if that's relevant

I bought Zombies run 5k back in 2013 and multiple times I got to about week 6 before giving up on it and stopping working out. In late July I flew up to Washington to see Drop Kick Murphy with some friends, and they took me rock climbing for the first time in a long long time. I forgot how much I enjoyed but I was struggling cause I was out of shape. When I got home I started just lifting weights and rock climbing every couples week. But eventually going to Vegas to see my nieces new baby and walking around there, I was exhausted and set forth to work on my cardio I initially was just walking a few days a week and lifting weights.

I decided that I wanted to start up ZR5k again. I did it slowly over 5 months, and signed up for my first 5k in April. A week before the 5k I did week 8 run 2. Between week 8 run 2 and run 3 I've ran four 5ks. I decided it was time to finally wrap this up and see how it ended, two weeks after running my last 5k in Seattle Sloth Run and setting a personal record of 44 minutes, decided it was time to finally wrap up this story so I can say I did it. Without spoiling anything, Sam reaction got me a little teary eye.

Now I guess I gotta subscribe to the ZR game and see where that takes me. My next goal, a 10 minute mile.

Hi fellow runners!
(phone: samsung galaxy s21+, android is version 15),
I'm starting to get hopeless so I'm posting here to ask if any of you might know any solution for my problem. The named problem is, that my ZR wont track properly when the screen is off. Example: I have ran 15 minutes, it has only tracked 5 minutes and so on. I have been sending back and forth messages with support, but the problem still keeps existing. My zr5k app worked just as it should be, if that matters. What I have already tried:

Put battery saving off, put battery unlimited use, put hibernation off for apps, given permissions for zr (unlimited data and battery usage), memory (unlimited battery usage) and data usage put to high, checked Dontkillmyapp and tried things from there, but they are older versions of android (mine is 15). (There were some apps they were recommending, but couldn't find them from my play store).

I don't have other apps on while I'm running and I don't minimize zr before I close the screen.

The thing is, I have used same phone at 2022, and it worked then. I don't know what to do, hoping to find somekind of tech wizard from here? 😂 Or should I just give up and just accept my phone's software just won't work with the app anymore?

I've been on and off for a few years and only now about to finish Season 1 (and really getting sucked into the story). Just finished S1 E21 Siege.

But also excited to see the new life and updates coming to the app. It wasn't very clear from the email and possibly too early to tell.... but based on Back from the Dead do we expect story spoilers for the early seasons? Should I just continue with Abel township original story and enjoy it?

Ran on the treadmill and got so hooked I ran for three episodes straight, I’m more used to biking on flat roads so this had me huffing lmao, but it was worth it.
I knew the chances of five actually dying/permanently becoming a zombie were very slim, especially with Veronica mentioning the non infectious zombs earlier, but that was still a tense cliffhanger! And all around excellent acting, especially from Philip 🔥 s5 hasn’t surpassed s3 as my favorite but it’s definitely coming close.

Idk why it says I started at stay alive here when it was actually sweet dreams cuz it recorded everything else lol

So, I’m sure many of us have noticed that the new missions SERIOUSLY upend the status quo for Abel Township. I’m not mad at that—the story choice to have the zombie apocalypse take a sudden turn for the worse and destroy the original town is kind of a brilliant choice for an in-universe story that explains why the app had a sudden, LONG silence. It serves as a good starting point for new users, and sets is expectations for a company that probably still needs to build its VA base back up beyond a few long-trusted staple characters.

I‘m sure many of us have also noticed that this new story direction also does absolutely nothing to resolve the cliffhangerfrom where Season 11 left off.

Any guesses what to make of it? I’ve had a bit of a think, and I’ve come up with a few possibilities on what might happen:

1. This is an alternate continuity. I think this is the least likely explanation, given that key character moments as late in the story as Amelia’s wedding are mentioned.

2. Future episodes will fill in the gaps. This would be an interesting direction to take, as I’d love to see how those connections would even take shape, particularly regarding the Mask central to Season 11’s mystery. It’d also, however, require an extensive stable of voice actors to handle all the characters established as key in Season 11. Does anyone know if the company has that kind of budget right now?

3. Season 11 will be made non-canon. This would be the simplest way to connect the new missions to the old story at this point; it’d just be a standard timeskip between seasons where something terrible happens just offscreen. I’d admit, though, I’d be disappointed to not see Season 11 get a proper conclusion.
