I find I have aching shoulders and neck after roughly an hour of running. I think the main reason for this may be because I tend to swing my upper body side to side as I run. Has anyone any tips for reducing the swing?? I do try and keep my arms still and not to hold them too high. Would weight training help? ie strengthen my shoulder muscles??

do you clench your fists when you run?

Weights will help to strengthen the upper body. Do military presses, lateral raises and upright rows using dumbbells for the shoulder area. For back strength, do rows and the lat pull down machine.
Agree about core strength - also never underestimate the value of full press-ups for strength. Learn how to do them and you'll never have a weak upper bod again!
