Zombies, Run! - Book Review


Zombies, Run!
Keeping Fit and Living Well in the Current Zombie Emergency
by Naomi Alderman and Six to Start


What is it about:
'OUR FIRST JOB IS SURVIVAL. IF WE SURVIVE, WE LEARN, WHEN WE LEARN, WE MAKE TOMORROW BETTER THAN TODAY. THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS TO BE HUMAN: WE JUST HAVE TO KEEP ON GOING'

The zombie apocalypse is here. We have all lost a lot, but we are surviving. Together we will overcome the outbreak but we need every man, women and child to do their bit. This is an informational guide to help you stay fit and healthy in both body and mind during the crisis. It includes:

- Indoor activities that build the strength, stamina and flexibility you need to survive contact with the zombie hordes
- Expertly-designed running, cycling and swimming programmes to build up your distance safely when venturing out for supplies
- Advice on nutritious meals when resources are sparse and treats need to be rationed
- Tips on building and maintaining a community and remaining fit of mind when humanity is pushed to the brink

The advice within the pages of ZOMBIES, RUN! will prove the difference between life and death in the coming days, weeks and months. Humans are wondrous beings; this is not the end of us.

WE CAN BECOME STRONGER. WE CAN BECOME FITTER. AND TOGETHER WE WILL SURVIVE.


What did I think of it:
I have my owner training to run with the Zombies, Run! app, so when the zombies come, she'll be able to run me to safety. So when I saw this book I had to get my trotters on it.

And this is a really cool book.

It gives lots of great tips for runners and other people who want to stay fit, as well as tips for staying safe during the zombie apocalypse, making this the perfect read for both me and my owner. We had as much fun with reading the book as with trying out some of the exercises (both doing the Dead Bug exercise as watching someone do it, is highly entertaining I can tell you).

The book is written as if it's a manual send to you by what's left of the government and next to information, exercises, recipes, and other helpful tips there are testimonials by people who are busy surviving the zombie outbreak. For fans of the Zombies, Run! app there are a few familiar names among those testimonials (Sam!).

All in all I think this book is great for those who love the Zombies, Run! running app, as well for people who love zombies and zombie survival guides in general.

Why should you read it:
It's a great guide for runners and for those people who want to survive a zombie apocalypse.
