MileStat.com visited the Chantilly High School cross country team on Wednesday, August at Burke Lake Park for stop #5 of our pre-season cross country practice tour. At the same course which their conference and regional championship meets will be held at later this fall, the Chantilly squad's workout for the day was 4 tempo repeats for either distance (1 mile for top group of boys) or time (5 minutes for top group of girls and others) with an 800 meter jog recovery in between. More to come from our visit including more detailed summary, pics, and videos!
