My suggestion might be next time you run to pay attention to whether your arms, torso and facial muscles are loose and relaxed, or if they are tense. I've often had twinges or even muscles spasms in my arms or back while running simply because I was so focused on my feet and legs that the rest of my body had clenched up.

i notice that my upper shoulder muscles are sort of stiffer. Mainly along the muscles above my collar bone. I wasn't thinking that was it since it seems like it was near a main blood flow area. I was sort of worried it was something to do with poor circulation in the area.

I get that every now and again when I run, but I thought it was something to do with the fact i broke my collarbone 4 times when i was young. If its not, I'd be interested to hear anyone's reasons.

tightness in the collar bone area is usually from the trapezius muscles (right/left). what you can do is 'throw' you arms down and relax and relocate them once again. it helps with placing your arms at a 90 degree angle or just relax the shoulder area.

This could also be a respiratory muscle. Try taking slower, deeper breaths and use your belly as well as your chest to expend your lungs. That kind of thing can be annoying, can't it? If we're going to be in pain, we at least want it to be our leg that hurt. Ken

I have been doing my normal route of about 3 miles daily for about 1 or 2 months now and I have always noticed it but last week things really got interesting. I was running and going on my final half mile or so. I noticed that sometimes i got a tight pinch/cramp in the right side of my collarbone area, maybe slightly above the bone itself on the neck. I was just curious as to what anyone might think this is. It doesn't normally do much bother to my running but I would like to set my mind at ease knowing it isn't anything bad and that maybe there is something to fix it considering I will be putting my body to a big test coming up in the next couple of months with my first college basketball experience. :cool:
