Training complete!

Today I completed the last run of the Zombies, Run! 5k Training app. Course. Thing. Whatever. 8 weeks, 24 sessions, and according to the distance tracking some 93 miles. Overall the app was very well done, as was the training regimen itself (witness the fact that the combination of the two got me all the way through).

I will admit to one minor complaint. Today’s session, the last, was nominally a 5k run to cap the 5k training. Obviously. I of course assumed that the session would be tracking distance, since, y’know, 5k, and that the 51 minutes time displayed for the session was an upper bound estimate. Nope. Turns out the session was just tracking time, so my final 5k run was more like a 7.5k run. But I can’t complain too much, since the training was good enough that I completed a 7.5k run without any problems. I will confess to wondering if the app was ever going to call an end to the “5k” around mile 4 (km 6.4ish), but it eventually did.

Now it’s on to the main Zombies, Run! app. The zombie hordes await!
