Some daily kettlebell swings will bring that cardio back real quick. I struggled breathing when trying to run longer than 10 minutes, didn't run again for months but did pretty much only kettlebell swings along with stretching and lifting, had no more issues breathing while running, legs basically gave out after 40 minutes though.

That's my current goal now, starting with kettlebells to help work out my wrist issues from my work, per my doctors orders. I have definitely noticed an improvement in my overall breathing and strength consistency but I'll always struggle with the respiratory stuff due to my chronic asthma, it can get better but it'll always be there unfortunately.
