Begging the question? There no possible way to learn a skill that requires 10,000s of repetitions without spreading the practice over time.
As far as I understand you both of those methods would be in the same category of spaced repetition.
I just gave you 2 different ways, on different time-scales, that spacing could be applied to motor skills and to getting the most out of the 10,000s of repetition. If you visualize the spacing effect as being based on the forgetting curve, it should come as no surprise at all that you can demonstrate spacing on many time-scales (and my spaced repetition page includes citations dealing with intervals ranging from seconds to years).
