Score is the time it takes to complete all the movements, including both runs.

What is a good score for the “Murph” workout?

– Beginner: 63-71 minutes

– Intermediate: 47-58 minutes

– Advanced: 36-41 minutes

– Elite: <35 minutes

What are the tips and strategy to use for the “Murph” workout?

If you choose to partition the reps (which is the original intent of the workout) partition them as follows: 20 rounds of 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, and 15 air squats.

In the CrossFit community, this is known as performing 20 rounds of “Cindy.” It’s the most efficient way to partition such a high volume of reps.

What is the intended stimulus for the “Murph” workout?

While this WOD is an endurance-type workout, it should be performed in approximately an hour or less.

If, for example, it takes you 90+ minutes to complete, you’ve altered the stimulus and lost the requisite intensity – meaning you should consider scaling.
