Hi There
After going through the details provided by you it doesn't seems like a cardiac pain. Some people do feel slight pain in their pectoral muscles after starting running which gets resolved over a period of time. However i want to recommend to you to do an ECG to make sure everything is fine. Also i want you to take a mild pain killer like PARACETAMOL 500 mg For 3 days to see if it get resolved with it.
Good Luck
