That’s utter nonsense. It takes more physical prowess to run 10 miles, sure, but there’s nothing mentally easy about playing the same damn four bars until you have the passage completely locked in, to put in the effort to go from ok to good to excellent.

I won’t argue that both take mental prowess. But there’s a difference between overcoming physical hardship and mental tedium.
