Execution and Focus

The Moyle is a unique benchmark workout that combines endurance and high-intensity movements, testing both physical and mental stamina. Starting with a 1-mile run as the buy-in sets the stage for an aerobic challenge, followed by descending repetitions of 10 to 1 for pull-ups, squat hops, dive bomber push-ups, and burpees. This combination not only elevates heart rate but also challenges muscle fatigue and promotes functional movement patterns. Concluding with another 1-mile run as a cash-out reinforces the need for endurance, ensuring that athletes must maintain performance under fatigue. Overall, The Moyle serves as a comprehensive test that appeals to both intermediate and advanced athletes, making it a staple in the Moyle Memorial Tribute & Holiday Workouts.

Strategy and Finish

To optimize performance in The Moyle, begin with a conservative pace during the first mile, ensuring that you have enough energy for the subsequent movements. Focus on efficient movement patterns for pull-ups and dive bomber push-ups to minimize fatigue. For the squat hops and burpees, find a rhythm that allows for sustained output while managing your heart rate. As you approach the final stages, push your limits during the last mile run; this is where the mental game plays a crucial role. By targeting both speed and form, finishing with determination can significantly impact your overall time, making it a defining moment in the Moyle Memorial Tribute & Holiday Workouts WOD.

How do you perform the The Moyle workout

Learn how to crush this workout

To perform The Moyle workout, start with a 1 mile run to warm up your body and prepare for the intensity ahead. Once you complete the run, move on to the descending rep scheme of 10 to 1 for each exercise, starting with 10 reps and decreasing by one until you reach 1. Begin with pull-ups, focusing on full range of motion for maximum engagement.

Next, transition to squat hops, ensuring you maintain proper squat form while adding a hop at the top for explosiveness. Follow this with dive bomber push-ups, emphasizing control as you transition between the upward and downward parts of the movement. Lastly, incorporate burpees, performing them efficiently to keep your heart rate elevated.

Once you finish the descending set, complete the workout with another 1 mile run to cool down and finish strong.

How do you scale the workout

The wod "The Moyle" can be done by everyone

For beginners, consider reducing the distance of the run to 800 meters or even 400 meters. This will help prevent fatigue while still maintaining the workout's intensity.

Scale the pull-ups by using a resistance band or performing ring rows. You can also modify the movement to jumping pull-ups if needed. For squat hops, switch to air squats or modify it to step-back lunges.

Instead of dive bomber push-ups, perform regular push-ups or incline push-ups against a stable surface. For burpees, you can step back instead of jumping or squat down instead of jumping up.

Finally, adjust the cash-out run distance based on your comfort level, ensuring you finish strong while maintaining good form.

How do you score the WOD

See if you beat your friends in the wod "The Moyle"

Your score for The Moyle workout is calculated by summing the total number of completed rounds and additional repetitions beyond the last full round. Start with the 1-mile run as a buy-in, then move through the 10 to 1 rep scheme for each exercise: Pull-Ups, Squat Hops, Dive Bomber Push-Ups, and Burpees.

After finishing the final round of Burpees, complete your workout with another 1-mile run as the cash-out.

To ensure accuracy, keep track of both the completed rounds and any extra reps. For instance, if you complete 8 full rounds and finish with 3 Dive Bomber Push-Ups, your final score will be 8 rounds plus 3 additional reps, totaling 83 reps.

What kind of exercises are in the The Moyle The workout?

  • Burpee

    The burpee is a simple, full-body movement that combines a squat, plank, and jump into one explosive exercise. It’s a staple in nearly every burpee workout thanks to its ability to build cardio endurance, coordination, and mental toughness — fast.

    In this workout, burpees spike your heart rate, challenge your engine, and require no equipment. Whether you're doing them over a bar, onto a target, or just flat out, burpees are a true test of grit and conditioning.

  • Pull up

    The pull-up is a foundational bodyweight movement that builds upper body strength, focusing on your back, shoulders, arms, and core. A staple in almost every pull-up workout, it's key for developing gymnastics capacity and functional pulling power.

    In this workout, pull-ups challenge your grip, coordination, and endurance — especially under fatigue. Whether strict, kipping, or butterfly, the pull-up remains one of the most effective and scalable exercises in CrossFit.

  • running

    Running is one of the most effective ways to build cardiovascular endurance, leg strength, and mental toughness. A foundational element in many running workouts, it adds intensity and pacing challenges to both short sprints and longer distances.

    In this workout, running boosts your engine, footwork, and recovery capacity, especially when paired with strength or skill-based movements. Whether you're hitting meters or minutes, running is essential for building a well-rounded fitness base.
