Subject: Impact on performance of donating bloodSo with all the threads wondering about the impact on performance when donating blood, here's my report.
I donated yesterday about 5 p.m. One pint.
Went for 40 minute moderate pace run today just before lunch.
Distance covered was about a quarter mile less than normal.
However, I couldn't keep my HR down. It was 10-15 beats higher than normal.
On a side note, when they checked my blood pressure and HR they had to get a supervisor's approval to go forward because my HR was below 40 BPM. |
