Murph

Murph is a 1-mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 air squats and a second 1-mile run, done for time. The full version is done in a 20-lb (9 kg) vest or body armour. Most people take 40 to 70 minutes; the timer counts up to a 60-minute cap you can change in Circa. Start the timer below: it counts up on this page, and Done stops the clock.

How to do it

Run the first mile, then do the pull-ups, push-ups and squats in any order and split them however you like, then run the second mile. The clock runs the whole time.

The most common split is 20 rounds of 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups and 15 squats between the two runs.

Make it easier

Skip the vest, use ring rows or banded pull-ups, or do Half Murph: half-mile runs and 50, 100 and 150 reps.

Where it comes from

Murph is a hero workout named for Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, who was killed in Afghanistan in 2005. Many gyms do it every Memorial Day.
