Blood donation recovery

So, I’m becoming a blood donor.

Currently, I don’t train like a madwoman, but I have a consistent schedule of a few strength and a few cardio sessions a week, a mix of running and cycling. I would rate my endurance as decent.

My question is: when losing a noticeable blood volume, obviously your endurance takes a hit. Your strength, I imagine, takes a lesser hit. How large of a hit is it? How quickly do you recover? How do you adjust your training?

Would love to hear personal experiences.

Pulled this Friday - thoughts?

I’ve spent a total of $100 on the cheap power packs over the last 3 weeks. I limited myself to $50 and at least with the $25 I can get a couple of pulls. First time I did it, got a few cards worth a bit more than I spent and sold them back and just kept the cash. Friday on my second pull I got this. Thought about just selling it back and taking the profit but I don’t own any slabs and I thought the artwork was super cool. Makes me want to get the Charizard POV now. Good one to hold? I’m stoked on it!
