Those who do "Murph" a bit too often are known as "patients" I'm 54, and I typically do "Murph Jr." which is scaled to half of the workload of the original prescribed/Rx workout:

800m run
5 pullups, 10 pushups, 15 air squats TEN ROUNDS
800m run

My time is usually a bit over 20min. So what if it takes you 30 or 35 min? Be all you can be.

Crossfit is all about intensity in the workouts, but as its founder stated, "If your workouts typically last longer that 20 minutes, you are doing something wrong". Murph is very much the exception to this, and isn't typical even for Crossfit.
