Final run before donating blood? Good idea or bad?

[Ourkel]

I have 1 more run left, it should be on Tuesday but I am giving blood at half 4 that day and I have ready against exercise before giving blood. It does say vigorous exercise so I'm insure if a 30 min run counts. You also have to wait 24 hours before exercise after so I am torn whether to go earlier on Tuesday to give time to recover or wait until Thursday. It's my last one and I am too excited to wait!

I chose the worst day to donate, if only it was the day after 😅

You have a dilemma Ourkel, it's not advisable to run the same day, even before you give blood and for a few days after as well, I just wonder if you could run your graduation run the day BEFORE you give blood, however, that might mean running two 30 minute runs on consecutive days which as you know is the number one rule on C25K not to do. 😂😂

I think I will have to do this, but I will see how my legs and I feel tomorrow then decide. It will be a one off but safer than going on the other days xx

👍 However, be careful and take the run especially slowly. 😊 🏃🏾
