Trying To Start RUNNING

The KB's keep me in pretty good shape. I have a really good work capacity, and I feel like I am reasonably strong. So far though, I've made strength a primary goal, with endurance a close second. While there is good carryover for me when hiking or participating in some other endurance-type activity, I just can't seem to keep in "running" shape while just doing KB's/bodyweight training. I took my dog for a walk today, and at the end of our walk, you have to climb a hill to get back to my house. The hill is about a quarter mile long with about an 8% grade. We ran up the hill at a pretty good pace (about 2:00 from bottom to top), and when we finished, I was DYING. It felt like my lungs were bleeding. So, after I recovered, I went and did this:

Turkish Get-Up
32kg/8 minutes = 16 reps total, switched hands every rep

Running
3 minutes running, 1 minute walking/ 12 minutes
