Zombies, Run! Radio Abel: Season 1

32:53 minutes - 2.12 miles - 15:32 minutes/mile

Well, I was all set to start Season 2 today, but when I brought up the next mission, there was a message saying they recommended completing the Race missions before starting Season 2. The races say they are the "hidden story at the end of Season 1," and there are three of them: 5K, 10K, and 20K. Erm. 5K I can do, although I'd rather wait until Saturday and do it at the park. 10K... probably, if I go slow and take walk breaks (and turn chases off). 20K, though, is pretty far without training up to it. So I'm not sure how I'm going to handle that. I really want to run them and hear the story! I wonder if you can run them in sections? Radio Abel has Resume/Restart buttons, maybe the Races do, too. That would be okay, I could stretch out the 20K over three or four days. Even split the 10K in half.

Meanwhile, I had to decide what to do today, if I wasn't going to run the 5K. The app has various other kinds of missions you can run, besides training missions—air drops, supply runs, interval training—and there, down at the bottom (off screen if you don't scroll down, so I never noticed it before) was Radio Abel! There's a Radio show for each season that you can play and just run as long as you like, so I decided to run to that, and just do 2 miles. The only inconvenience was that the app doesn't tell you when you're done, so I had to judge for myself when to pull out my phone and check how far I'd gone, but I guess after doing all these 30-minute runs, I was able to estimate fairly well. There weren't any zombie chases, which was fine with me, I just ran till I was done. Felt a bit slow but my pace wasn't too far off.
