The 2019 MURPH athletes at Foundation
If you’re planning to participate in MURPH on Memorial Day, maybe bring your plate carrier/weight vest/ruck in so you can begin practicing movements as you’ll do them that Monday. Speaking of which, RSVPs for that day are already open!
We’ll have a set of 5 lanes as we currently run them, and another class with a cap of 10 which will not have dedicated lanes, but should respect social distancing rules.

For those with weaker (or injury-prone) ankles TOE WALKING may be an accessory you add to your personal practice. Great for warmups before a jog or exercise this can be done anywhere.
Start with your knees completely locked, your butt tucked under your body, and your abs engaged. Start with a single calf raise to your absolute end-range then take very small steps forward, sideways, and backwards, moving from the hips.
Generally we would do this in lengths of 30 to 60 feet once or twice to build the strength and stamina of the muscles and joints of the lower leg, ankle, and feet.
