The Foy-Thompson combination only came together in 2014 but they had immediate success, setting a world record time at the 2014 UCI Para-Cycling Track World Championships in Mexico.
Thompson said while the pursuit is their main focus, it's not their only target.
"The other event we have been really training for is the 30km road time trial, it is a flat course so the training for the two events compliment each other," she said.
Whilst it is still a fairly new partnership, Thompson said they are a fantastic match.
"We have a lot of trust in our relationship both on and off the bike. Emma trusts me to handle to bike at 90kmph going down hill for a start which is a pretty difficult thing to do," she said.
"We both also have really high expectations of ourselves and each other to ensure we never get complacent and keep pushing the bar out. We also make sure we always have a lot of fun, especially as we get closer to Rio."
Foy, who is visually impaired, is the 'stoker', sitting at the back of the bike, while Thompson is the 'sighted pilot', up front.
Thompson said, however, that there are a lot of difficulties while they race.
"So many ... where to start? We find that communication is really important especially with Emma not being able to see what is happening being visually impaired," she said.
"I talk to her throughout the races and she has become very good at anticipating what is going to happen by how I am riding and the things I am doing. The biggest challenge always remains fighting through the pain barrier to go faster."
They both are excited for the event, taking place at the same venues as the Summer Games.
"Being in the village environment at the paralympic games is a pretty amazing experience," Foy said.
"We are both looking forward to being amongst the atmosphere of the games and surrounded by a group of such adaptable and talented human beings."
The Paralympics run from September 7-18.
