I do, If you by “7on/7off” mean 7 am - 7 pm
I work 3 days on, 3 days off; day shift, day shift, Night shift (7pm-7am).

Luckily i have a coach to plan for me. But usually i have 10-15 h of training.

Before i hot a coach i played around with a 6 day training week. With 2x2x2 and some strength. Purely because it was easier to plan

Not a coach and never had this schedule, but it sounds super awesome to me. Off the top of my head I think I'd do four week cycles as:

wk 1: big volume, low/moderate intensity
wk 2: low volume, high intensity
wk 3: big volume, low/moderate intensity
wk 4: low volume, low intensity (rest wk).

Ya, I think the faster cycle of 3 on 3 off would be easier/closer to a normal work schedule. I’ve thought about getting a coach but am still working on justifying the cost to my wife. 😬

That’s what I’ve kind of fallen into. Maybe making a concerted effort and actually planning it that way would help me “feel better” about it—make it feel intentional.

Not real thoughts or solutions other than, hire a coach mentioned already. What job is it though?

Years ago (like 30 years ago) I worked the following shifts for 4 years:

Friday through Thursday afternoon - 7 am to 7 pm

Off until Saturday afternoon.

Saturday through Friday night - 2 pm to midnight

Off until Tuesday night

Tuesday night to Tuesday morning - 11 pm to 7 am

Off until Friday morning.

At the time I was just a runner, as well as a volunteer paramedic and fire fighter. It had no adverse affects on my ability to train or my performance. The great thing about it was that for 21 our 28 days a month I could train during the best (warmest, coolest, driest) time of the day, and I was able to respond to EMS/Fire calls at a time that most had to leave work to do so.

I’m a hospitalist—I wouldn’t trade my rat race for anybody’s at this point. Mostly days, few nights and swings.

I work something close, 8 and 6. 8 x 10 hour shifts (Thursday to Thursday) and then off for 6.

In my experience when I'm working I get a good workout in first thing in the morning (I start work at 5 so I avoid traffic in both directions). My afternoon workout is kinda meh. When I'm off, I mix training with pleasure so I'll do stuff I enjoy (like MTB) for longer hours. I have a coworker who does HIIT type stuff when working and distance workouts when he's off and it works for him. It really depends on what you're doing, and if you're the kind of person who can workout first thing in the morning.
