Obstacle Race Training-02/11/13


Do a half Murph and throw in an extra mile.

If you weren't already aware, A Murph is a work named after Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, who was killed in Afghanistan. Lieutenant Murphy often performed the exercise with a weighted vest. 

His legacy lives on in this tough exercise he regularly challenged himself with. Can you do it? The Murph is a timed event consisting of:

Run 1 mile
100 chin-ups
200 push ups
300 squats
Run 1 mile

There are many variations to the Murph. You can do it chronologically, break it up into segments, eat it all at once, or whatever your taste and ability.

Here's today's workout that involves a half Murph with an extra mile for good measure. Once complete you'll have done three miles, 50 chin-ups or pull-ups, 100 burpees with a push up for each, and 150 body weight squats. I did it as follows:
