Sounds like muscle tension.

Any basic exercises that stretch the back and shoulders will help.

Pop over to the Strength and Flex forum to see what is on offer and ask for something suitable.

Are your shoulders relaxed and down when running?

Do you carry anything in your hands? Not a good idea.

It was a bit windy today maybe I was slightly tense. Will check out strength and flex now

Sounds painful.

If you haven’t been gulping air and it isn't trapped wind and doesn’t cease then as ex nurse i would suggest getting checked out.

Hope you are ok.
