My cardio is terrible and I need improve it

id start off getting a good base with low intensity, jogging/elliptical type shyt
then progress to interval runs(pyramid scheme with sprint distances 20 > 40 > 60 > 40 > 20 etc) by the time you do that youll have above average VO2 guaranteed

Sprints.
Like the previous poster stated, low intensity jogging or some other exercise. I'd say about 30 minutes per run three to four days a week. Slip in a high intensity workout like stadium steps or some sprints now and then may help also

is a 8:36 mile time considered slow?
Not really. I usually get my 5 mile jogs done in 40-45 mins myself depending on how I'm feeling.

Running sucks.
Buy a bike. Ride it to the gym. Pre-workout cardio out of the way.

I appreciate the suggestions guys
This is my problem. I fukking hate running but I need to get in shape. I swear I can't think about it while I'm doing it or I'm gassed the next minute. I could play basketball and enjoy it but I'm not getting nearly the workout

Running murders my knees, can't do it. I either swim or hop on the elliptical for my cardio. I hate it and wish I didn't have to do it, but the heart benefits can't be denied.

I enjoy running, but I can only really fukk with it on a tred. The concrete doesn't feel right.
Jog first to get your stam/endurance up, then proceed to do sprints. If you can do your shyt on a track, sprint the straightaways and walk the curves.
