U turn on runway?

Just landed in YOW on a flight from YYZ and it's 7:30 in the morning. By the amount of reverse thrust and braking the captain used on landing, he was clearly trying shorten the landing distance and get to the gate faster. He missed the first taxi exit.. and to my surprise he did a U turn on the runway. Has anyone had this experience before? Not in my 15 years of travel. I think they'll probably have to get ATC approval before doing it and it's early in the morning??

Regards,
Empress
