Our team's day off from running yesterday was a quick change as we went from running the 3 to 9 am shift to running from 9 am to 3 pm. This meant getting back on the normal sleeping patterns and for everyone including myself, this means better recovery. All of my runs this past week were higher quality runs - 15 miles, tempo run at lactate threshold pace, interval run with 30 second surges every 5 min during the run, and a 20 mile run. The extra sleep will be greatly appreciated.
