...I do intervals on a relatively flat course here, at distances varying between 15 and 20 miles. I ride standard 70's and 80's lugged steel road bikes, and I usually stop and stretch/recover at the turnaround. It takes me much longer than 30 minutes. I do this 2 or 3 times weekly. I have done it for years. Obviously, I'm not doing intervals for the whole 20 miles. What does not kill me, makes me stronger.

At one point, there is a 14% hill, and now I do not switch back, and am able to power through.
