In what way is your assertion not being influenced by personal feelings or opinions?

I agree with your premises that 30 miles is probably not a long day, but it is a subjective determination, based on my and your abilities and experiences. The fact is there is no standard definition of a "long" day, and therefore no objective method of determining what is and is not.
