Start with a couch to 5k program

Most start off with 30 seconds running and 1 minute walking for 20 minutes and work there way up to 10 minute runs and 1 minute walks over about 12 weeks. After that you should be able to run for 30 continuous minutes.

Here is one such program but there are lots.

Or doing what you are doing on the treadmill works too, just slowly increase the running and decrease the walking. Also try to get a few outside runs because the uneven surface of pavement taxes the stabilizer muscles in your legs a lot more than a treadmill.
