You're not sweating so most likely your heart does not overwork. I would say you will get more cardiovascular benefits with brisk walking (one mile for 12-15 minutes) with much less walking time. Good luck.

I agree that you're not over stressing your heart, but in time overuse of muscles,bones and joints may show up.
