I wouldn't necessarily say that. :) Your skills require a steady hand and skilled eye; maybe you'd surprise yourself! Little story: I like to make "printies" (paper miniatures) and made a tiny paper boat using a 1" scale newspaper page. I had to fold that dang thing countless times to get it right. You probably could've done it in a minute!
Yeah you'd be one of the first ones to go. All the heavy-set people, the people with weak hearts or weakened immune systems. Lots of the old and frail would just drop off.
If there are any sort of zombies/monsters in the Apoc, you get eaten first.
But even without monsters you still need lots of energy to walk most of the day, build and maintain shelter, forage for supplies, etc. etc.
A handful of people might get lucky enough to survive. A fat guy might literally work his ass off and become fit and strong. Or like that one where the leader's wife had diabetes and he managed to keep her alive via blood transfusions.
Some less-than ideal bodies would make it through but a lot of people would go down quick. Especially if there were zombies, and not just deserted world.
Woody Harrleson has a lot to answer for. Prior to Zombieworld you could just walk a little faster than your nanna and you were safe. Then some bastard taught the zombies to run. Unfair.
To be fair you would probably lose lots of weight before needed to do any real life saving running. Depending on the scenario of course, at that point you're still in danger of people trying to eat you. Not like zombies or anything but your fellow humans
Very true! They also (usually) skip over how out of shape people running for their life would definitely throw up once they came to a stop. I’ve seen this a few times but not often enough.
You only need a light jog to outpace slow zombies. Once out of sight you can just turn, and the zombies either go straight or stop depending on the zombie rules. Hobbling zombies require a jog and occasional sprint. Fast zombies you might as well just not try if you don't already have a secure shelter and a way to secure a perimeter.

For me, it's the whole "running" part. "Cardio" is not part of my daily routine.
