Memorial Day is just over a month away, when fitness enthusiasts all over the country will perform CrossFit's notoriously difficult "Murph" workout as a way of commemorating the holiday and honoring fallen U.S. service members. Named after the late Navy SEAL Lieutenant Michael Murphy, the Murph consists of a 1-mile run, 100 pullups, 200 pushups, 300 air squats, and another 1-mile run—all done wearing a 20-pound weighted vest.
Athlete Hunter McIntyre says he set a world record during the Murph Challenge 2020, when he performed the notoriously difficult CrossFit workout in just 34 minutes 13 seconds. In a recent video on his YouTube channel, he shared his advice for how to best train for the Memorial Day Murph this year.
