Change it!: Running hills is a challenge to anyone's aerobic capacity but heed the wake up call. Get back into shape by starting a fitness program with a mix of aerobic and resistance exercises. Start at an intensity and volume that is appropriate for you. May i suggest run/walking. Start by running for 1 min/walking for 4 for 20 min. Chunks. Then, increased the running until you are running the entire time.

Uphill running: Uphill running is always more taxing than flat running as you are moving your mass against gravity and so more energy and muscle burn is required. Always a good idea to incorporate hills into one's runs to build up this type of aerobic/anaerobic endurance.
