Best Answer

It has to do with circulation and respiration.

When you're running your oxygen is being used at an increase rate so that your body can pump blood to your leg muscles to continue running.

Because your arms have a less important role in running, they get less blood, and start to hurt because you're still moving them without getting the extra bloodflow.
