Nothing serious should be taken from either book. They are for entertainment.
One word: Kimetto.
I think it's a trick question - once you put in that amount of practise into something, you are good enough to know you will never master than particular skill. 'Mastery' is for people who haven't progressed far enough to appreciate there's no such thing. I hereby dub it the Second Year Politics Student Syndrome.
I was a copy editor for some years - my back-of-the-napkin calculations just then yielded me 40hrs/week x 50 weeks/year (2000hrs) multiplied by 4.5 years = 9000 hours. This was the fulltime work, there was a 2.5 year interim where I worked freelance and a rough average estimate there would be 15 hours/week x 52 weeks/year = 780 hours. Total 9780 hours.
Then there was the four-year full-time journalism degree and year as a full-time editor of the student mag, as well as six months as a news journalist.
All up let's say 13,000 hours (it would be much more but best to avoid overestimates), and I was talented at it, eventually working for the highest-selling magazine in my country as a senior copy editor.
No way did I have it mastered. I'd say I needed another five years or so to feel comfortable.

See?
I've commited that amount of time to masturbating and consider myself a world beater.
If you run 10hrs/wk and 50wk/yr, that's 500 hrs/yr.
If you continue that for 20 yrs without interruption, then you will probably reach your genetic potential (whatever that is).
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
