this is the ultimate in zombie preparedness. Reed Street Production organises this already trending adventure race where you’re not just running against the clock — you’re running from brain-hungry, virus-spreading, bloody zombies.
Zombies will be on the course, stumbling, chasing, standing, sitting, and crawling, while you pit your wits against various obstacles set out as well as nature itself. sounds positively romero doesn’t it?
note : I am slightly concern about this depiction of chaser zombies vs stumbler zombies on the race website though. these chaser zombies are more regularly appearing in various pop culture references nowadays and frankly its throwing my whole zombie apocalypse survival plan out of whack!
you know I strongly advocate mental preparedness on zombiefication, and what could be more perfect in helping you mentally prepare yourself for the zombie horde than a little dose of sleeping with the enemy.

so more and more zombie related literature is coming out of Malaysia nowadays, which bodes well for the country’s overall preparedness for the coming apocalyspe. If you watch outbreak movies as much as I do, you would already realise that Malaysia is always one of the first country’s to be red marked on the outbreak map, indicating that the chances of it being fully infected within the first 72 hours of global outbreak is extremely high. therefore, to know that there are those working to ensure that the citizens are at least aware (and hopefully can be slightly prepared) for the coming apocalypse is reassuring.
okay, there’s the AK-47, perfect for battling the zombie horde in rapid fire motion. then there’s the chainsaw, gorily brilliant for decapitating those hungry zombies in a frenzy. then of course, there’s the Doublestar, an AK-47/chainsaw combo, allowing you to do both, in style.
as the man says:
If you had to have ONE gun for the inevitable zombie apocalypse, this very well could be it.
Zombie Workout: Get Fit Enough to Fight the Undead via wired.com
Are you truly prepared to survive a rampage of the undead? Because it’s not just a matter of stockpiling MREs and shotgun ammo; you need to train for some serious fight-and-flight situations. That’s the idea behind ZombieFit, an exercise class in St. Charles, Illinois. To prepare for Z-Day, students do cardio, lift weights, and practice parkour maneuvers in a foam rubber mock-up of an urban environment. “It’s about being quick and efficient with your movements,” explains instructor Jesse Randall. “If the zombies come, you’re going to need to conserve your energy.” If? I think he means when.
Survival Workout
1. Climb
Zombies aren’t very spry, so climbing over barriers is a key evasive maneuver. Practice on a wall that’s a little taller than you.
Extra training: Pull-ups, bench dips
Muscles worked: Core, triceps, deltoids
2. Free Fall
Jumping off a roof may provide temporary respite, but break a leg on landing and you’re dinner. Cushion the impact by extending your legs and touching down on the balls of your feet. Then get up and make tracks.
Extra training: Toe raises
Muscles worked: Calves, hamstrings
3. Hurdle
Run at a sturdy obstacle—park bench, subway turnstile, picnic table. Dive forward, placing both hands on the object, and swing your legs up to your chest. The momentum will propel you over.
Extra training: Air squats, push-ups, sit-ups
Muscles worked: Pecs, delts, quads
4. Breakaway
“Extricating yourself from a zombie’s grasp uses every muscle in your body,” says Rich Gatz of ZombieFit. Practice by lifting and tossing a big object like a tractor tire.
Extra training: Resistance running, weighted pull-ups and push-ups
Muscles worked: Lats, core, hamstrings
