How often are you running? Do you have a total elevation gain from Strava or another app? Might be worth avoiding the hills and spacing runs out a little more.
ALSO^ morning all the way. I'm shot by the evening - all day staring at a screen just wipes me out. I like a little walk but no running.

Thanks for the reply, I was exaggerating for effect, but Im really not a runner.
I checked sträva and i gain 75m in my 5km run, its all in one hill. I take around 26/27 minutes to complete usually, but I think I could probably go faster. My park run time from a few years ago on a flat course was between 20-21 minutes, the other runners giving me something to compete against.
Most of the running I do usually is in a game of hockey/football, short 90/100% bursts followed by 50% speed etc. Today I tried a fartlek run around the same route and ran it quicker and was much less tired by the end. I think as i get used to the difference I will get over the uncomfortableness, I think pacing is probably going to improve.

People keep talking about easy runs, if I run any slower its power walking.
On my little 5k loop over the top of Alexandra Palace I am so dead by the top the rest of the run is just survival. I really don't like running, but the feeling when I finish is the closest thing to the normal post exercise buzz I can achieve with all the restrictions in place.
