I have gone on training runs within a couple days of running with no adverse effects. I take a couple of precautions: 1. easy training pace, plenty of fluids, and most important, don't run alone.
I'd avoid racing for 2 or 3 weeks after a blood donation, but that's my rule of thumb, not backed by research. Thanks for donating BTW.
