Is it advisable to donate blood while training for endurance sports such as long distance running and multisports? If it is not detrimental to the athletes system to donate, should one only donate blood during rest and recovery periods, at regular intervals or off season only?

As an athlete, especially if you have a heavy training load, I would not recommend giving blood. It's selfish, but maybe you can talk some of your friends into giving blood in your place. If you were going to do it give blood right after the season ends.

Since,I am in my first week of recovery from a complete break of the fifth metatarsal in my right foot, I made my annual donation yesterday.Of course that is another story entirely. Since I plan on competing again this season,have already donated a gallon,will be training through the winter for next spring I think I will forgo making anymore donations.
