Hardcore & StoneHarbor
StoneHarbor
You ever think about how the training for a marathon is almost like the prep for a deep‑sea dive? Both demand discipline, focus, and that stubborn push when the going gets tough. What’s your take on that?
Hardcore
Yeah, they’re basically the same thing in a different environment. Both need a steady pace, constant check‑ins, and that stubborn will to keep going when the body starts screaming. You train your body, then trust the gear – shoes for a marathon, fins for a dive. Discipline and focus never let you quit.
StoneHarbor
Sounds like a perfect mantra for both. I always feel the ocean’s rhythm like a long‑term training plan—every breath, every stroke, every gear check. Keeps you honest, keeps you stubborn, and if you let yourself get distracted, the currents will catch you. How do you stay disciplined when the miles—or depths—start to feel endless?
Hardcore
I lock in the rhythm before it gets you—set a small target, hit it, then move on. Every breath is a countdown, every stroke a reminder that you’re the only one who can finish the run or the dive. If the miles or the waves feel endless, I remind myself why I started, cut the plan into chunks, and crush each chunk. Discipline is just focus on the next step, not the whole finish line.
StoneHarbor
That’s the kind of rhythm that keeps you from drifting. I try the same with my dives—set a minute mark, hit it, then breathe again. If the water gets too deep or the miles get too long, I focus on the next breath or the next kilometer. Keeps the mind from blowing up before the end. What’s your next chunk looking like?
