About this calculator

The Murph split 5 zones calculator assists CrossFit athletes in dividing the Murph benchmark into five equal intensity segments. The Murph workout consists of one mile run, 100 sit‑ups, 200 push‑ups, 300 squats, and another mile run. The tool splits each exercise into five blocks, letting the user know how many repetitions or kilometers to complete in each phase.

To use the calculator simply enter the total distance or the number of repetitions for each movement. The algorithm then calculates the number of repetitions or miles for each zone, respecting the traditional order of the Murph. Segmenting the workout makes it easier to manage pace and avoid premature fatigue.

The Murph split is ideal for training for an official meet, monitoring performance in each part, or conditioning the body to endure high load. Breaking the workout into zones allows for load adjustments, rest timing, and energy focus while preserving the original structure.

Common cautions are overestimating recovery capacity between zones, which can compromise form and cause muscle soreness. It is essential to respect individual effort limits and adjust zone sizes based on experience and fitness level. The calculator should not replace guidance from a certified coach.
