Lots of people, myself included, have asked about running after giving blood. The last time I gave blood I did a 5k four days later. I nearly passed out and I've never experienced such leaden feet and legs. This is a great article (the Kinetic Revolution is a great website for experienced and new runners) which explains exactly what you should expect after giving blood
