It really depends on what you want to get out of it. Jogging for an hour or so can be pretty pointless, particularly if you aren't trying to lose weight or want it to benefit your golf. If you want to add power, interval training is where it's at. Sprint for 1 minute, walk for 30 seconds, work up to 20 minutes of this kind of work. Mark Verstegen has good information on cardiovascular training for athletes in Core Performance.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
