Trust me the runs in this workout is the easy part.I am not a fast runner,maybe 8min mlies, I am 5ft 5in,LOL. run the mile then do all the exercise's without breaking it up, you must finish one before moving to the other finished by the last mile run. It is a smoker of a workout.With you running under 5 min miles and you can get through 100 pull ups and 200 push ups and 300 squats and then the last mile you should have a great time.Enjoy and hope to see your time. This workout is called MURPHY, Named after LT.Michael Murphy U.S. Navy S.E.A.L. killed in action in afghanistan.Enjoy,Mike.; ▶ Reply to This

As long as your hip flexer dips below the top of your thigh you are deep enough, plus you are doing 300 reps so it is a burner. Remember this workout is for time so you want to do them right and not lose form for time.Make sure the push ups are chest to floor and full lockout.pull ups, well get chin over the bar.I hope you have fun with this workout it is great for conditioning for BJJ.Thanks.Mike; ▶ Reply to This

Thanks brother for the reply.Mike; ▶ Reply to This
