Single word for distance and duration

Question

Is there a single word that defines the distance both in time and space between two points?

I am writing a long text and repeating distance and duration constantly seems weird.

I have considered gap but I am not sure if it makes sense.

I'd like to turn "The distance and duration for the jorney is 100km and 1 hour" into "The ____ for the journey is 100km and 1hour".

If you need to use a word, you could use measure:

[Merriam-Webster]
  1 d (1) : a measured quantity
  1 d (2) : amount, degree
  // giving children a greater measure of freedom

In the case of the example sentence:

The measure of the journey is 100km and 1 hour.

Note, however, that that while this is correct, it sounds somewhat old-fashioned. As was added in a comment under the question, you could simply not use a word at all:

The measure of the journey is 100 km and (takes) 1 hour.
