Just got back from the worst ever run. Although I did run for 25 minutes it was by no means consecutive. After the first 10 minuets I had to stop, my heart was pounding so fast and I couldn’t carry on. I gave myself a two minute break and carried on. Again a few minuets later I had to stop yet again. This carried on for the remainder of the run (start/stopping), I was just completely out of energy.
I would say it’s because I gave blood yesterday, but I don’t want to make any excuses for what was a poor attempt. Really disappointed.
The only good thing that came of today’s run is I did run for 25 minutes I just had to keep pausing every time I stopped and walked.

To be honest with you Ginjaninja24 you should not have made any attempt to do any run after giving blood the previous day, give yourself a few days off running and run, run 3 of week 6 again, good luck. 👍 🏃🏾
I was under the impression from the advice given to me I only had to avoid exercise for rest of that day. This having been my first donation I didn’t know what to expect.
As I said it is reckoned to take up to three weeks to replenish your blood and you need that to transport oxygen, so at least it was a learning experience.
Honestly, don't let it get you down. Like the others have said, have a good couple of days off and see how you feel. In that time really take care of yourself. Try again in a few days and see how you feel then. Well done for getting out to give blood too.
