Good question. If you’re new to cardio and running is too painful for you, I’d suggest trying another less strenuous discipline like biking. As you get better at biking and your cardiovascular fitness improves, you could try running again at a slow pace.
Another option is to walk on an incline treadmill. You could increase the incline steepness each week or go for longer to improve.
I don’t know your fitness/general health. If you smoke, for example, I can’t imagine your lungs would feel good during a run.
