running on my toes taking quick steps
This sounds about right. Best to keep some sort of rhythm going, and the best way to do this whilst inevitably slowing down is by trying to maintain cadence, which means chopping your stride.
If you're tackling a hill as part of a long run (or race) at a steady pace, allow your effort level (/heart rate) to rise a little to keep your momentum going (and get a rest down the other side). If you're doing specific hill reps and getting closer to max effort, try to concentrate on form; keep up on toes, lift your knees and pump your arms.

I know running up hill is not supposed to be easy, but any tips greatly appreciated.
I feel like I'm just running on my toes taking quick steps. Is this right? Should I be aiming for more heel to bum?
I have no idea what I'm doing.
