Has anyone ever gotten a cramp on the top of your shoulder while running?  Lately it's been happening in my right shoulder, & was wondering what could be the cause?

Not relaxing your upper body enough.

X2, you are probably tensing your shoulder up.

When you feel it start to tighten up, let your arm hang straight down loose for 10 or 20 seconds.  Looks weird, but it might help.

Phew, glad it's not just me.  I get them in both shoulders sometimes when I run.  I also get sore on the inside between my forarm and upper arm.  I will try running like our pre-cambrian ancestors to see if that helps.  If nothing else it might be for some good stress relief.

I do, also my right shoulder.  I separated that shoulder about 15 years ago and still have the bump there, so I always just assumed that this had something to do with it.  from the sounds of other responses, maybe I just need to relax more.
