Anyway it said that Elves usually don't take upon tasks such as traning and stuff as hard as humans do. This is because they live forever, they could deal with it any time. Humans however has a pretty short lifespan, and thus they work harder than the elves to achieve their goal. Like Aragorn for example, Legolas states that Aragorn "has seen more than him" in The two towers, and Aragorn is only 89 or something. (Not much compared to Legolas millenias). As I said, don't have any proof, so it would be good if someone could say if it's right or wrong.
I can't prove either, but I would guess that if you live in a place like Mirkwood, with Dol Guldur and everything that brings with it sort of right at your border, you wouldn't take too much time in training warriors, would you? 馃槙
