Week 9 day1 had to happen ,up early to start wk9 10mins in and was feeling thirsty 20mins had to stop ,first run not completed, however as every one says we can all have a bad day .Going to try again Wednesday . Blood donation on Thursday afternoon so might not run Friday but hopefully Saturday morning instead, fingers crossed will complete next Monday morning

This post about hydration may help persuade you that it is the most crucial aspect of run preparation healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

It can take up to two weeks to fully replenish your blood after donation and it is not recommended to run in the 24 hours afterwards. Even then you will be unlikely to perform at your usual level, so dial back pace and expectations........or wait a few more days.

Keep drinking plenty of extra fluids.
