Even if you can maintain a 5 minute pace, 40 minutes is a sizable time sink. I can get a killer workout in the gym in 20 minutes, or I can get an even more intense workout on a 100 meters of flat ground in 5 minutes (although, to be fair, recovery time after sprints is quite substantial if you're not in shape =P ).
I'd run out of breath in 5 minutes during running anyway. I don't have such problem with activities like weight lifting or boxing where there are regular breaks after 20 to 180 seconds of activity to pant and catch my breath. Maybe I need to learn breathing. But so far, the idea of any physical activity without these breaks seems preposterous to me. I haven no idea what runners do.
I also have the impression that via all these activity - break and panting -activity - break and panting - I am cheating myself with willpower through activities without really engaging my cardiovascular system.
Your body has several different ways of producing energy depending on how fast you need it and for how long.
I was thinking 16km/h (3.75 minute pace). 30 mins is hardly excessive!
Ah, at first I thought you were some kind of superhuman god, but then I realized you were talking in km and I was talking in miles =D
