Whichever genre you try to write has rules—both explicit and unstated.
And you need to be well-read in a genre before you go near it, lest your revolutionary genre-redefining magnum opus turns out to be a fool's rakedance.

Thanks a bunch. Now the DJ in my head is desperately trying to retcon lyrics for the March Violets' "Snake dance".
Yep! The coaches moved at 8mph but had to stop every couple of hours to change teams (and guards and drivers). And kept moving through the night.
Of course, any significant rainfall turned all but the best stretches of surviving Roman roads into a quagmire that stopped traffic for days at a time.
(Similarly to sailing across the Atlantic: the record crossing was 10 days, but the worst case—before steam—was something like 6 months.)
So in that respect, not much difference from flying long-haul right around the world—twice.
