This clue might be a double definition.

'method of getting' is the first definition.
'way' can be an answer for 'method' (way of doing something). I'm unsure of the 'of getting' bit.

'distance' is the second definition.
(way is a kind of distance)

'the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for way that I've seen before include "Route; direction" , "Path" , "Manner; road" , "'Manner, mode (3)'" , "Street" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
