about runners
Dec 18 2007, 3:25 AM EST
even without the onset of rigor mortis, which would more often than not happen, a person who died of infection, thus escaping bodily harming effects and destruction, would still have failing and decrepit bio mass because of the coma and heart failure and atrophy that would take place as the infection took its toll leaving all but the most rare of zombies a shambling mess

I never made the statement that all Zed's would be able to run if presented with this condition, I was merely presenting the circumstances where by it may be possible.

Zombies can only run for 3-7 days after becoming a full blown zombie,otherwise they shamble and limp

How fast is a Zed? An Olympic runner can do 15 mph, around a 3-4 min mile sprint and I believe the marothoners are 8 min.sAn average person in good condition could do a 10 min. mile for a short distance(15-20 miles?). Most the Zeds aren't going to be athetes. What say you? Do you find this valuable? |

"How fast is a Zed?

Like for example: Your friend just died and rises after being bitten,you back away and he starts walking over to you,you begin to run,lets say your me,id die because i could only escape for so long on an open stretch so the only desicion woud be to run and hide Do you find this valuable? |

"Zombies can only run for 3-7 days after becoming a full blown zombie,otherwise they shamble and limp"Well that kinda depends now doesn't it? I mean rigor mortis sets in because the muscles have ceased movement and there is no fluid moving around the joint or muscle, so it could be concievable that if fluid did remain in motion and not say dry up or cogaulate it may run for far longer, this is all hypothetical though. 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

I did not think of the breathing idea. I did consider the fact that they feel no pain and could, if the fluids alowed, run at the maxium speed their tissue and bone could endure.

3-7 before rigor sets in,it depends on the "person" when they were living,like some old person with arthritis will sucum to rigor faster than a person that takes care of their body.

you see with in lack of brains and sense the zombies have to sniff out and spot their victims if they get enough fiber from the human body they walk faster and sometimes walk if so use any kind of a explosive to kill them or what i say RUN LIKE HELL!1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Because i believe only in infected zombies, not undead, i think they would have sympthoms which will decrease balance, like fever, they couldnt sprint more than 5 meters and then they could fall over. But jogging may be possible when they see a survivor or running last 5-10 meters before they catch the survivor, assuming that survivor hasnt noticed zombie and not running away.

This topic makes no sense to me. You try to bring in our "known" biology into the play. But once you stop breathing and the bloodflow ends your muscles go bye bye. If your muscles are too ruined to run, you probably can't walk either. By your own logic, all zombies would be a unmobile lump on the ground.

Sprinters and Shamblers are two states of the same condition in "Plague of the Dead" and "Thunder and Ashes" by Z A Recht. The only exception I take is with the 28DL incubation time. There is nothing on earth that can effect that kind of change in a simple organism, let alone a human being that quickly. I was watching a documentary where they talk about viruses that affect single cell organisms and bacteria. Even those take minutes from the point of the virus injecting it's payload before the cell disrupts in any way. So a sub-ten second infection time in a human from droplet infection is just not plausible. Do you find this valuable? |
