If it's just a little discomfort (slight pain) when inhaling it's likely your back muscles that are tight and don't like to stretch.

Please send me lung x-ray, along with a check in the amount of $5,000.00, and I will render opinion.

Do a search for "pursuiter's cough" or "track hack."

i get a nice cough, like something's in the throat after a long all out chase. i know what causes it though... a deep and overwhelming desire to catch the guy in front of me.
depending on how hard and deep you were breathing, the diaphragm muscles can be overworked. some might think the pain is from the lungs.
now that i think about it, i'm fortunate i'm not a doctor, they must get these kinds of complaints, and are expected to come up all kinds (BS) explanations for it, all the time.

is this a good indication of strengthening your cardiovascular system? I also have asthma but the last asthma attack I got was last spring.

Lungs hurting when doing sprint repeats is good. Means you were going hard. Good for you. Lungs hurting after is probably muscles rather than lungs. You don't mention a cough, which is also pretty normal.
