The type of cardio you do will determine how your body is shaped. If you plan on being thin and slim then running for an hour is probably your best bet. If you want to have a bit more definition around your muscles and body, then quick Cardio aka HIIT (High intensity Interval Training is the best bet for you. Now cardio is cardio no matter what you are doing if you are consistent with it will for sure help you lose weight. BUT if you trying to get that sexy beach body with definition short burst of cardio or High Intensity interval training is your best bet starting off. As you continue in your physical fitness journey you can begin to tweak your routine.
New runners or people starting off with cardio can experience shin splints. The best way to avoid this injury is ensuring that you have adequate running shoes and cushion for your feet. It is a prevention method. and if you are a constant running every couple of months of wear and tear you need to replace. Best practice is to have about 3 shoes you can alternate through when working out. This will allow you to pretty much use the same 3 all year and maybe more. Now that you have your shoes you can get to on your runs.
If you want to do long periods of time with cardio a good warm up jog at a low pace can be used to get you started and test how your breathing, and heart rate is when under pressure. Being able to manage your breathing is an important factor to the longevity of your fitness. Cardio can be put before or after your main workout but if you are weight lifting it is best to do so after. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has a workout program where every day except Sunday he is running either on a treadmill or elliptical for 40 mins. Yeah, pretty intense but all things consider the guy is rock solid (pun intended).
Alternatively, most people want those quick results and so they can get beach ready. If that is what you are chasing, HIIT is your answer. The best way to describe this form of exercising is burst of energy spent on a couple different exercises it could be as simple as 30 seconds on each exercise rotating between sets of jumping jacks, pushups, lunges, high knees, and leg raises with limited rest periods in between. The options are limitless because these generally work the whole body and can be done in 10-15 mins sometimes 20-30 once you get used to the routine. The benefit is that along with Weight training it will leave you with well-defined lean shape without compromising muscle definition. I do these type of exercises twice of me and I overall have more energy and my agility is up.
Both will help you most definitely lose weight but how you lose it, will ultimately determine how you plan on moving forward. Consider what you want to look like and how you want to perform when you are deciding between the two
