Pain in the shoulder after long run and ride

Hi,

I am preparing for a duathlon, I have done a lot of long runs and rides recently. Today after one of my long run, I felt a big pain in my shoulder. How can you explain this?

    I'm not sure I can explain your pain, but when I get this pain it's because I have tensed my neck & shoulder, usually on the "weaker" side of my body. I now hear my various instructors saying "Get your shoulders out of your ears!" and am able to relax the shoulders and use other muscles (side or chest muscles).
