working out will greatly up your energy.

instead of going either time or distance on your workout, i would choose a set distance, or time... let one or the other be the constant, dont let yourself do 'or's its a good way to make seeing your progress more confusing.

you say youre more tired. but maybe youre just completeing your run faster, or going further in the hour. its really hard to judge with the info youve given.

heres what i would do, pick a brisk pace, not outright sprinting, but not too slow either. run as long as you can at that pace. dont mind the distance, and for now, dont mind the time. just go until you feel like youre gonna fall over. when you do reach that point. NOW look at your time or distance, choose one. i would choose time, personally.

try running that same speed for that same time (or distance) every other day, gives your body a chance to rebuild after the muscle fatigue. that way you will build up, and it will be easier to run. if you exercise a muscle too much before its ready it can harm your workout, and that may be your problem.
