Giving blood and running

Question that I had earlier this year, was : is it a good idea to give blood while training fro a marathon?
While it is always a good idea to give blood, I ended giving blood 2 months before a half marathon. Let me tell you that the first month after giving blood was very hard, I was so slow and out of energy while training.
My advice, give at least one month before your event to give your body time to recover.
