What is the basis upon which the scholars understood that the 3days in the narration is a fixed measure of distance that was calculated with a certain type of transportation, like horse only ? Rather than just 3days being the decisive time factor, whatver the animal or distance it maybe ?

i dont think its only distance factor or just a time factor. in some shafi kitaabs they mention about traveling far distance in a moment. in those days it was normal for the pious to travel these distances without transport. you find stories about the mufti on Makka seeing Imaam Haddad making tawaf every evening but he would be back in Hadramaut for isha jamaat. his student Shaykha sultana would travel a 40km journey daily for lessons, a trip that is about 45 min by car but back then could take half a day.
