How should I structure this workout?

Common approaches: 10 miles then 150 burpee pull-ups, or alternate 1 mile with 15 burpee pull-ups. Choose what works for you mentally.

What's a burpee pull-up?

Perform a burpee under the pull-up bar, then jump up and complete a pull-up. The burpee and pull-up together count as one rep.

Is this really meant to be done?

Yes, but it's one of the longest Hero WODs. Scale appropriately and prepare as you would for any endurance event.
