I completed C25K in August. Since then I've been consolidating with 3 runs a week. I run two 20 minute runs on weekdays and a longer run on the weekend. Post winter months i plan on undertaking the Bridge 2 10K.
Yesterday i was supposed to donate blood which we do regularly. However i was unable to as my iron reading was 110 and it needs to be 115 to donate. I was genuinely surprised and disappointed as i have never done as much consistent exercise as I'm doing now.
The nurse advised it could be because of the increase in activity that my iron levels have dropped. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
Thank you
