You are not enjoying it now as you are not fit. It’s a process. More you get out running, the better you you feel aerobically and then you will will find it easier and more enjoyable.
Do a parkrun (if one is near you). Do one a month to monitor your progress. You will be amazed at how much you will improve by just running regularly.
All the best.
Ya soccer pitches are great.
I have various tempo programs but the most effective is
Run 100M @ about 65-75%pace of your fastest 100M
That would be 17-24 secs for most people.
Then repeat on 75 second cycles.
Start with 3 sets of 3 runs if starting from low base with 4 minute breaks in between.
Work up to 3 sets of 8 reps adding a rep every session or every 2nd session.
When you reach 3 sets of 8 runs, start reducing the time to 70secs…65 secs etc.
I know many leading coaches using this system and I have used it myself. It improves numbers wise aerobic capacity better than any other method known. Yet we do not actually know why scientifically yet.
But coaches and players do not like it as it’s too “easy” at the start and not lactate/glycolic enough
But also running with others.
Great help
Do some strength training. Critcal
Critical to what?
To general health.
But especially running
Something handy I can do at home?
Stability to warm up
McGill Sit Ups x10
Side planks x30secs
Bird dogs x10
X3 sets
Then for strength
Bweight Squats
Push ups
Dowel hinges
Supermans
Lateral lunges
Wall handstand creep
Reverse Lunges
X2 sets
No equipment needed.
Then maybe at some point buy a kettle bell
Thanks mate, I think I know what push ups are 
You will have to do some research alright 
I’d never go for a run if I didn’t have a time/distance to aim for. Running for the sake of running bores me. But along with 5-a-sides and hurling training, a 5k every now and then is a handy one to gauge progress. Getting a fitness watch was a real game-changer.
They should ban those boxing bags in gyms. The amount of gobshites in the gym who cant seem to pass one without either trying to punch it or kick it. Guy there today slapping the bag and dancing around like a gobshite.
How about banning stupid cunts
Anybody try amatsu therapy for hip and thoracic spine mobility/improvement ?
Very good article for the runners here.
I suggest many if these workouts will add speed and variability.
Great to see running community finally copping on to the science.
been doing it for years mate
A sub 25 min 5km is something many fun joggers around here aim for 
Just back from a steady slow and snowy trail jog of 9.5km at the pace of 5’45. I await that prick @Locke giving me hassle on Strava for my walking pace again
By the way, laps of mary I is a great place for training. You can do intervals, progression runs etc
