“Murph“
For time:
1 mile Run
100 Pull-ups
200 Push-ups
300 Squats
1 mile Run
Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run.
Beginners — partition in a 1-2-3 pattern based on your weakest skill. It’s probably pullups:
1 pullup, 2 pushups, 3 squats for 100 rounds,
or 2 pullups, 4 pushups, 6 squats for 50 rounds, etc.
Give yourself plenty of time, and just get it done. Whatever it takes.
As this one is particularly rough, set aside some time to relax and feel good about it afterwards. Some research shows that you remember the end of the workout, not the beginning — if the ending is a bit more enjoyable, you’ll be more enthused to try “Murph” next time it comes up.
The research is thin, but there’s plenty of anecdotal evidence that this is how it works with yoga — those five minutes they spend lying on their backs at the end gets more people to show up for the next class.
