All, I suffered the same thing for years. I'm in the military and physical fitness is part of my job, however, it seemed that no natter how much i worked out or ran, i progressively became slower and slower over time and could not complete 2 miles without stopping. Luckily one day, a smart doctor looked at some blood work that i had done previously and noticed that I had hyperthyroidism, which can cause supraventricular tachycardia, or rapid heart beating. I suggest you see a physician and request to get labs done and have the Dr. review your labs for hyperthyroidism (T3/T4 levels). If you do have this symptom, no amount of running or working out will improve your condition, only medication or surgery. Left untreated could lead to more damage to your heart or other organs. Then after that you can begin your path to improving your cardio.
