Lately I have been feeling like that. After the first 15-30 seconds I get the feeling of lactic acid in my legs and shoulders for example. I always start very easy and not in any kind of an uphill. It goes away quite fast though.
What´s this about? 10-5 years ago I used to feel quite similar while living at a very high altitude, but never at sea level like now. Any survivors here?

You are feeling something else. It’s not lactic acid unless you’re running as fast as you can.
You are sensing fatigue as the glycogen stored in the muscles themselves — a small amount that can be converted to ATP to supply energy for only 10-20 seconds — starts to deplete and the slower, more voluminous aerobic pumping system starts to catch steam. It is a normal feeling, and more so at high altitude because of oxygen deficit.
As to why you are unusually feeling it of late is hard to say. Has anything changed about your training or aerobic capacity or muscle size? Could it be psychological in that you are just thinking about it more?
Most athletes see lactic acid as the enemy, but it's time to learn the truth about how lactate impacts your body's muscle soreness, recovery, fatigue and more.
No I don´t think much has changed in my training. But beginning April I got a full-time job where I can´t really sit down at all except during breaks. Before I worked remotely for years, and usually part time.

Not possible.
Lactic asset is what hits you 300m into a 400m sprint.
Some posters have told you, you are incorrect but have not stated why.
LACTATE in humans is a last chance fuel. It is alkaline and NEVER causes pain.
A medical professional would have to do a work up on you to know why you are tired.
Endurance and stamina athletes slow down and experience discomfort due to cardiovascular drift, muscle damage from pushing muscles to the limit. Sprinters and runners experience additional fatigue due to gravity. When we run, gravity is slamming us back to earth. Fatigue due to gravity is why it is more rare for runners to set multiple personal best in the same T&F as opposed to swimmers whom are more capable of setting multiple personal best in the same S&D meet. Runners take longer to recover than swimmers due to gravity causing runners additional fatigue.
