Are you slower than usual?
Have a rest.
Famous last words! [:D]
Seriously, mate. Could be a virus in which case you need to ease off a lot - I think I've spoken on the forums before about a mate who kept pushing on with his schedule through a nasty chest virus and earned himself a pacemaker.
Do you get hayfever - that might explain it? I've started noticing my chest tightening up very early this year, but I also get exercise-induced asthma so I'm probably a bit over sensitive.
Another thing that has given me a sore throat and chest has been the management at my local pool being a bunch of cocks and getting the chlorine wrong. Anything like this happened in the last week or so?
Anyway, go see a doc and tell us what happens. Good luck!
Wouldnt be too concerned as your obviously relatively fit. However, get yourself to the Drs asap and get to the bottom of this quickly by some simple tests.
Occasionaly the odd very fit person can get cardiac disease, best get it checked as pain in throat and chest is often a precursor to a cardiac event.
Hope this helps, would not normally write something like this on a forum but seriously get checked out
I had a few chest pains a while back. The docs got me to have an ECG which showed everything was OK with my heart, they put it down to muscular pain in the chest muscles.
If you have a heart problem obviously you would need something done pronto. Hopefully you don't in which case once you have it checked you can stop worrying.
Not saying that's what it is - but worth bearing in mind if you are going to see a GP.

Good luck with the tests, i know this can be very worring not knowing, hope all turn out OK.
Waste of time
What it may be best to do if you try giving your surgery a call and asking if it is possible to see and GP specialist in either musculoskeletal or sports injury, most big practices will have one, and smaller ones will be able to do referrals to neighboring practices. They should have a much better idea whats going on.
The same advice applies to everyone with sports injuries, if you ask to see a GP specialist they will normally oblige as it costs them far less to do this than refer to an orthopaedic surgeon.
She is now recovering & hopefully will be home next week.
Old lady at the gym I go to went to the Docs with a problem (its not a joke honest),A couple a minutes after going in to the Doc's office she comes out and bursts into tears in the waiting room.The receptionist goes over to see her and asks whats wrong.She replys that after a couple of minuts the Doc said to her that ''her Time was up''.
The receptionist did eventually get to explain that it was her appointment time not her lifetime,so much for help in the community.
Your not going to lose any drastic fitness in the week, its February not June so you have lots of time. Rest and come back stronger rather than dragging out feeling unwell.
