Keep at it and switch up the exercises to help with the boredom and you will build endurance in time

If you are wanting to build endurance, one way to start would be to do a few short paced sessions a week, and one longer paced session. slowly build up the longer paced session, so that your training volume (the amount of time you are doing cardio) increases by a maximum of 10% per week.

Once you have built a solid base of cardio, you can then start thinking about introducing one HIIT session a week

good luck
