Re: Zombies, run releases homefront lockdown mission
@Wes Hollow, your welcome, I'm glad people find it useful.
@bucklee12, use constant pace when your doing an exercise other than running, that automatically advances the game at 1 k every 5 minutes, I use that when I'm weight lifting.
For running on a mini trampoline, you'll need to set the pace to step counting, and work out stride length.
Bare in mind though, if your running flat out on a mini trampoline lifting your knees your burning more calories and getting a harder over all workout than you would be running normally, indeed a quick google search suggested a trampoline run is roughly twice as effective, with 5-8 minutes on a trampoline equivalent to running a mile. I also double checked this with a family friend who's one of the british Paralympic canooing instructors, as well as being a qualified physio, and she confirmed as well.
So, I would recommend setting the stride length up a bit so that you cover more distance with each step you take, and thus can tailor mission length to your workout.
For me, I've found a stride length of 2m 30 works well, this has me doing about 1 k every 4.5 minutes, which means an average 4-5 k mission takes me 20-25 minutes flat out run. Sadly, zombie chases don't seem to work, or at least, the game doesn't track very well when I speed up my pace, so I've had to turn that feature off.
I suppose I could just set the thing to constant pace and set the mission length to 20 minutes, but I personally find it more interesting to have the game actually track the distance I cover, even if I have to modify that distance slightly according to my running method, indeed since I tend to like to do short, intensive workouts rather than long slowly building ones, the trampoline probably works better for me than running on a treadmill would.
how it compares to real running outside I don't know, since sadly I've never tried that, but anyway the point isn't for me to train for the Olympics or as a marathon runner or anything, it's just to do a daily workout so that my body and brain stay fit.
Hth.
