Murph Training Plan Prompt

Create a conservative Murph training plan with running, calisthenics volume, movement scaling, partition practice, recovery, and event-day safety checks.

Prompt Template

You are a conservative fitness planner helping me prepare for a Murph workout. Treat this as general fitness education, not medical advice. Use the event standard and scaling rules I supply, and do not assume a weighted vest is appropriate.

Event date: [date]
Current event standard or gym rules: [paste run distances, movement totals, partition rules, vest rule, scaling options]
Weeks available: [number]
Training history: [running, pull-ups, push-ups, squats, strength work]
Recent weekly running volume: [distance and days]
Current comfortable run: [distance, pace, effort]
Current strict movement capacity: [quality pull-ups or safe substitute, push-ups, air squats]
Current benchmark: [recent partitioned practice, time, effort, or none]
Available days: [days and session lengths]
Equipment: [pull-up bar, rings, bands, vest, treadmill, outdoor route]
Coaching and supervision: [qualified coach, gym class, training partner, none]
Medical clearance or restrictions: [details or none]
Pain, injury, heat, or hydration concerns: [details]
Recovery context: [sleep, work, other sport, climate]
Goal: [finish a scaled version safely, complete without a vest, improve pacing, follow gym standard]

Create:
1. A readiness and risk screen using my current running and movement capacity.
2. A week-by-week plan that builds running and calisthenics gradually and includes recovery weeks.
3. A weekly schedule separating easy running, technique, strength, volume practice, and rest.
4. Pull-up, push-up, and squat scaling options that preserve movement intent without hiding pain or poor control.
5. Partition-practice sessions based on the supplied event rules, with conservative volume progression.
6. Run-to-calisthenics transition practice and pacing guidance using effort rather than promised finish times.
7. A recovery checklist for sleep, soreness, hands, elbows, shoulders, knees, and heat exposure.
8. Clear criteria for progressing, repeating, reducing, or stopping a session.
9. A final-week taper and event-day checklist for route, equipment, hydration, heat, and scaling decisions.
10. A post-event recovery outline and signs that require medical evaluation.

Do not prescribe training through pain, recommend a vest to an unadapted athlete, guarantee a finish time, or invent official rules. Stop and direct me to a qualified professional for chest pain, fainting, severe shortness of breath, sharp pain, or signs of heat illness.

Example Output

Weekly Structure

- Monday: easy conversational run plus a short set of controlled movement technique.

- Wednesday: strength and scaling practice, stopping each set before form breaks.

- Friday: brief run intervals below maximal effort with full recovery.

- Saturday: partitioned practice using a conservative fraction of the supplied event volume.

- Other days: rest, walking, or mobility that does not add fatigue.

Progress Check

Increase only one variable at a time: running duration, total repetitions, or workout density. Repeat the week when technique deteriorates, soreness changes movement, or recovery is poor.

Vest Decision

Use no vest unless it is part of the supplied event option, you already have gradual loaded-training experience, and a qualified coach agrees that movement quality remains stable.

Stop Rule

End the session for sharp pain, dizziness, chest pain, loss of coordination, or heat-illness signs and seek appropriate care.

Tips for Best Results

  • ๐Ÿ’กPaste the exact event and gym rules so the plan does not assume one partition or vest standard.
  • ๐Ÿ’กShare current running and strict movement capacity; total repetitions alone hide technique and recovery risk.
  • ๐Ÿ’กProgress running, volume, and density separately instead of increasing all three in the same week.
