Jack Rayner - #35

Episode 35 is brought to you by PILLAR PERFORMANCE:
One of our most anticipated guest appearances has finally landed. Having served his lengthy sentence on the FTK ban-list, episode 35 welcomes Jack Rayner to the studio (although the recording plays more like a casual café chat between best mates). Joel kicks the training weeks off with two of his best workouts in a long time, only to be swiftly overshadowed by Brett & Jack's last joint training week. The pair are currently in the air on their way to Japan (Brett racing and Jack pacing). The episode closes out with a bunch of listener questions for Jack.
