Exercises after giving blood?

[NelsonR32]

Gave blood on Christmas eve. As it was my first time I had to give a little extra for tests etc.

My routine beforehand was a 15 minute/2 mile run every other day around the estate. I understand the body replaces the blood in 24 hours but not the nutrients etc and some people have trouble with exhaustion etc if taking up exercise again this early. Any blood donors that can offer some advice?

I have blood in the morning then did five miles in the afternoon a few years ago. In hindsight it was stupid but I really wanted to go out. It was hard going but I was ok
