Zombies, Run!
Nothing is as motivating, or as scary as Zombies, Run! True to its name, this app creates audio running workouts through zombie-filled missions and adventures. It’s frighteningly effective. This ultra-immersive running game and audio adventure was co-created with award-winning novelist Naomi Alderman. The story is delivered straight to your headphones through orders and voice recordings. When you get back home, you use the supplies you’ve collected while running to build and grow your base. This app is available for both iOs and Android.
