Portland, Ore.-based runner Gene Lu is not taking the release of Star Wars lightly, especially in his day-to-day training.
With the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Lu went on a pair of 10-mile-plus runs to complete the intricate routes consisting of Darth Vader and an All Terrain Armored Transport.
The Twitter hashtag #RunWars has led a number of runners to dress up for their runs and mimic running routes in the shape of Star Wars characters.
Do. Do not. There is no try. I just ran 19.5 mi @ a 9'17''/mi pace with Nike+. https://t.co/XSe0yQf5Cg #nikeplus pic.twitter.com/eYFMpb7Vdk
