If your standard running routine needs an adrenaline boost, maybe flesh-eating zombies will do the trick.
An app called Zombies, Run!, is a narrated game where real-world runners must out run zombies and collect supplies to keep themselves and their fellow humans alive — and the only way to do that, is to hit the pavement.
