7-7. I work 3 12s but the days switch each week. This week was 2 on 1 off 3 on 1 off 1 on 3 off. Ha therefore body is a little wrecked and lifts are hard. I try scheduling a workday on our rest days. Example. If I work 3 in a row I try making that middle day a Thursday or Sunday.

Usually 8-2 so like 6 hours but try to sleep 9-10 on off days if I can. Nutrition is pretty good. I count my macros and I’m pretty consistent. I add carbs in days that are long and I’m up for like 24 hours.

Tough deal for you but like I said you seem to be controlling what you can control and that’s all you can really do at the moment. Another suggestion is to make sure you adjust accordingly and understand quality of training will always win over quantity. Don’t feel you need to be doing a high volume to make progress. That could be detrimental as your body can’t adapt and recover. Train smart!

For the running, I just want to confirm I am calculating my paces correctly because they seem too slow when I’m doing them…
For a 7:25 mile on the air runner , I calculated
80% @1:06/200m
90% @ 1:01/200m
100% @ :55/200m

7:25= 445 seconds/8 =:55.6/200m
80% of 445=356 ; 445-356=89;
445+89=534; 534/8=66.7 sec/200
90% calculated the same way

I don’t like the elbows up cue on front squats. If possible get a full grip on the bar and think about driving your palm against the bar. This should engage your obliques and lats giving a solid rack position and upright torso.
