Cry Wheezing, Coughing, Gagging After Runs.. Worried..

Well, Harley is kinda worrying me. When he gets outside to play with Zeus he GOES. I mean, he's a blur. And he tears around the yard back and forth back and forth back and forth until he can't breathe. When he finally comes to a halt, usually only bc I force him to take a break, he wheezes, coughs and sometimes gags.. He does all of this with his head bent low as if he's going to vomit. (which has never happend) And I know the dangers of collapsed trachea are of course a chance.. but what do you guys think? I've tested him.. like when he comes to me I'll rub his throat a little with my finger and sometimes he'll gag etc.. with very little pressure at all. Also, when I lay him on his back to rub his belly/brush his hair/trim his nails he will struggle with his head and attempt to lift it up to look at me (I'm sitting on the floor legs together and he's laying on his back cradled between them with his head towards my feet) and everytime he does this he starts a weird noise and begins sneezing or gagging.. And I'm guessing that this is caused by his straining to lift his head to see me and basically squishes his throat..

I'm a worried momma right now.. this doesn't happen every day and even if it's not serious right now it may be in the future.. So I figured I would ask the people I know who have the best experience.. Please give any information.. Thanks.
