&quot;Zombies Run: 5K Training&quot;:<p>You get to play the role of a &quot;runner&quot; in training in a zombie-filled post-apocolyptic world.<p>It&#x27;s a well-done story to help make fitness more like a fun game. Running from zombies to help save the world can be quite motivating and enjoyable.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apps.apple.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;app&#x2F;zombies-run-5k-training&#x2F;id566596422" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apps.apple.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;app&#x2F;zombies-run-5k-training&#x2F;id5665...</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.sixtostart.zombies5ktraining">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.sixtostart...</a><p>There is also a regular game that tells a story while you run:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;zombiesrungame.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;zombiesrungame.com&#x2F;</a>

My wife used a free technique called something like “couch to 5k” which works well. It get you to progressively improve from a short distance up to 5k - google it and take a look. Best of luck.
