Unless stated otherwise, by zombie we're refering to The Walking Dead -kind of undead creature.

Serious discussion only.

Do you think that zombies' inability to run is the deciding factor in making it even conceivable to survive in the post-apocalyptic world? (lemm.ee)

I personally can't imagine anyone surviving long-term around running zombies. Even if fighting them was relatively easy, it’s statistically inevitable that sooner or later you'd get bitten. This applies to walking zombies too, but at least with them, you have the option to avoid physical altercations altogether, at least for the most part. That’s what I think most TV shows get wrong about zombies: even if there’s just one, and you could easily take it down, just don’t. It’s almost never worth the risk. In my view, the best way to survive is to avoid them as much as possible. Fighting is the last resort and should only be done in self-defence.

If we're going to be realistic about it, a zombie apocalypse wouldn't last too long, given that they are generally depicted with rotting flesh. So, regardless of whether they can run, you're correct that the best bet is avoidance until the whole thing blows over.
