Last week I ran a four, a six and a sixteen, and this week was just doing mile repeats at 6:35, fast enough to feel one's rhythm but not too fast, heartrate about 130. When suddenly, horrible pain shot through my heal and I couldn't do the warm down and it hurts more now.

Thursday is a gentleman's ten to eleven but I feel as though I might not cure the pain enough to run a workout pace at the race. Ideas?

Can you describe the location a little better? Heel pain could be anything from plantar fasciitis, to calcaneal bursitis, to achilles tendonitis to a stress fracture or bony contusion. Location and quality of pain would be helpful.
