    I got them all the time at first. I figured it had a lot to do with being out of shape and when I did some reading on it I learned it had a lot to do with breathing.

    I don't get them very often now, but when I do I slow down and concentrate on belly breathing and exhaling fully. Taking deep breaths and exhaling fully seems to make the pain ease quickly and then I can get back to running.

    The way I always got rid of them was to slow down a little and lift my arms above my head (elbows directly above shoulders, doesn't matter if they're bent or not).
