They talk about the different experiences of racing on the track and cross country, how the Victorian XCR season played a role in the lead up to Dubai while Jarryd dealt with putting pressure and expectations on himself.

Jarryd throughout emphasises the team behind him that brought him to success, especially the role that his friend Tim Logan played in training and racing with a tether, how para-athletics is growing each year in the public consciousness and gives his take on the general state of athletics, how planning for Tokyo and the year ahead presents challenges.
