What is the Murph Challenge?
The Murph Challenge is a CrossFit workout named after Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, who was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2005. It's a popular Memorial Day tradition to honor fallen soldiers. The workout consists of:
1-mile run
100 pull-ups
200 push-ups
300 air squats
1-mile run
Traditionally performed wearing a 20lb vest or body armor, participants must complete all exercises in the specified order, though the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats can be broken up as needed (e.g., 20 rounds of 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, 15 squats).
How does this counter work?
This is a voice-activated counter designed to track your Murph Challenge progress. It's optimized for those doing a partitioned murph (where you break up the pullups, pushups, and squats into sets). Here's how to use it:
Click "Allow Microphone" to enable voice commands
Click "Start Run" to begin timing your first mile
Click "End Run. Start pull-ups, push-ups, squats" when finished with the first run
During the exercise phase, say:
"[number] pullups" (e.g., "5 pullups") to add pull-ups
"[number] pushups" (e.g., "10 pushups") to add push-ups
"[number] squats" (e.g., "15 squats") to add squats
"stats" to hear your current totals
"what's left" or "left" to hear remaining reps
"fix" to undo the last recorded entry
Click "End pull-ups, push-ups, squats. Start Run" when done with exercises
Click "End Run" after your second mile
Say "all done" at any time to stop the timer and end the workout
The counter will record split times for each section and provide voice feedback when exercises are recorded.
