My Murph Test training of a year ago has morphed into a workout that has become a core part of my training regime:
Twice per week, usually on Monday and Friday I jog to nearby park and do a variation of 3-5 sets of the following:
- 20-25 chin-ups
- 20 jump squats or jump lunges (alternating)
- 1k run around park with some bounding / high knee / sprints on grass or dirt field
The park workout has some clear advantages -
- Time management - In one hour I accomplish strength, cardio, core and form work -- versus the time-consuming showering and changing and travel involved in separate running and gym sessions
- Financial savings - The park is free
- Enjoying the outdoors - Always good to get outside, especially lately, and especially in scenic park surroundings
- Working on weaknesses - I never ever broke up my usual stay run or strength sessions to incorporate explosive movements like jump squats, but they serve as break between push-ups and chin-ups
That said, when the fitness center fully re-opens I anticipate paying the monthly fee and start swimming and lifting weights.
But I won't entirely abandon my park workouts.
