Merch Question about Shirt Sizes

10 Upvotes

Hey all! The "I Am Runner Five" tech shirts are finally back in stock. I really want to get a red one, but not sure what size for the unisex shirt. Depending on where I buy a shirt, I'm either a small or a medium. Sometimes mediums are way too big, sometimes smalls are way too small, but I especially don't like oversized shirts, so I'm a little hesitant to play it safe with a medium. The size chart for these shirts only gives the chest circumference (S-41", M-42"). I'm just wondering if anyone who has purchased one could give me a little insight on how the shirts fit, if they run big or small?

I'm male, if needed for clarity.

Android [android] Anyone run into the issue where only the initial story plays?

4 Upvotes

The app never pauses the music and plays the rest of the story. No TTS for stuff I pick up either :(

When I go for a run I do this:

  1. start music
  2. set music to external player
  3. start mission
  4. (music pauses)
  5. recap plays
  6. mission start plays
  7. (music starts again)

I'm on android 15 app v12.5.0

Season 2 Radio Abel Season 2 Question

5 Upvotes

I have one mission left of the season two main story and then I plan to jump into the side stories and Radio Abel, but I’ve noticed that there are essentially three versions of Radio Abel. There’s the one listed under the regular Radio Abel section and then there’s the high morale and low morale versions listed under the Radio Abel: Story Mode section. Do I need to listen to all three versions to get the full experience or will listening to just the high and low morale versions cover everything?

Adventures Venture Codex Story Collectibles

I recently started running with some Venture stories. The codex seems to suggest some story collectibles would be unlocked but all I see is types of supplies.

The message says "complete your first workout" but I already ran 3 episodes of Endless Sea and a one-off (Little Red). Am I not running the right ones that give collectibles?

Issues with the store?

7 Upvotes

Hey guys! I'm so sorry to ask this question here, but I placed an order with the Zombies, Run! shop. One of my items arrived immediately, like within a few days and I got a tracking number for it right away too. However, the other items didn't ship and I haven't gotten a tracking number for them either.

I tried emailed the "orders@zombiesrungame" email address listed here, but I keep getting a Mailer Daemon response that says this email address either does not exist or cannot accept emails. So I then emailed support, but haven't heard back yet.

Anyone else had this experience? I'm not in a rush to get my stuff, I know it can take a while! I'm only confused because one thing arrived and nothing else did and I have no information about that stuff either.

Thanks and sorry if this is considered off topic!

ZR5K Injury prevention - do your stretches!

17 Upvotes

I've just joined this community, I'm at week 5 of the 5k story and training. I've noticed quite a few comments about people getting injured. I know the app advises stretches but if you need some advice I recommend @RunBetterwithAsh on YouTube who has loads of free content, is well qualified and in my opinion is a good instructor with a great, positive and caring attitude - I'm a yoga teacher so I like to see someone who encourages people to listen to their bodies and take care.

Android Android wearable support replacing music controls

3 Upvotes

With the newest update the ZR team has added wearable support, which I thought was awesome! But I tried it on my Pixel Watch 3 on my last run and have encountered a slight problem: the media controls for ZR completely replace the media controls for my Spotify playlist. On my phone, I can still control the two separately, but on my watch it just shows the screen for ZR.

I have the app set to "external music player" which I believe should be the right setting. The media control screen on my watch is also just a pause/play button and I'm not sure that's intended; from the update notes I got the impression that I should be able to start, stop and pause the run from my watch, but I can only pause and resume it once I've started it on my phone. I also can't find an option in the app to turn off the wearable integration; that would be my prefered solution at the moment so I can at least control my Spotify playlist while I run.

Has anyone else encountered this problem and/or knows a solution? The ZR team probably doesn't have any extra capabilites at the moment and I'm very happy and grateful they decided to implement this at all, but I might still send in a support request just to make them aware this feature might not be working the way they intended.

Season 9 *Spoilers Possible * Question about a character in season 9... Possible spoilers! Spoiler

4 Upvotes

So here's my question and it's regarding the character Van Ark... In season 9 there is a version of him running around within the story that they explain was cloned (?) Or grown back from leftover cells (?)

Either way, what do we think? Is he truly a clone? And in that case like only affected by the events that occur in his life to make him who he was or could be?

Or do we think this is more like a Deadpool situation where he was just reconstituted and he's basically the same person?

I've recently gone back to the app after a while and decided to jump right back into where I was. That just happened to be halfway through season 9 and I'm unclear if I've listened to and or finished seasons 10 and 11.

I saw somewhere online that base building was a feature in the app with the supplies you get on your runs, but I can't seem to find that option on my device. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

GPS Accuracy : ZR vs Fitbit?

10 Upvotes

How accurate are the ZR distances? The distance ZR has is significantly lower than what my fitbit with GPS run tracking gives me. ​I'm wondering which is more accurate. It can be off by half a mile or more.

Android WearOS Integration? (2026)

3 Upvotes

From Naomi's recent message:

Have you all seen that we do now have some support for ZR on smartwatches too?!

....no. I haven't seen that. How do I get that? It's probably the #1 thing I miss right now, because I'd love some way to either see my progress, or even just start/stop the run from my watch.

Has anyone been able to get ZR working on a WearOS watch?

(Not talking about the past WearOS app/integration. Only talking about more recent stuff, in summer of 2026.)

Now that there is integration with Apple Watch again, does anyone know if the app writes workout data to Apple Health app? The help/support documentation on the website doesn't seem updated to be inline with the new release. Thanks for any info.
