Christopher Michael Pan is an accountant turned investment banker and corporate financier. In his free time, Christopher Michael Pan enjoys competing in triathlons, which are rigorous races that involve running, swimming, and cycling. Typically, triathlons are distributed as follows: 50 percent cycling, 30 percent running, and 20 percent swimming. Preparation for triathlons relies on a proper training regimen. Trainers agree that those who are training for triathlons should match their training according to the division of the events. That means that bike workouts should be longer than running and swimming workouts. At the outset, training should start off depending on one's current level of fitness, but over time should be increased incrementally. However, there should be enough time allocated for recovery. For average adult beginners who aren't overweight and who don’t have any severe medical conditions, the optimal preparation period for a first triathlon is around 12 weeks. It is recommended that a beginner first join sprint triathlons, which are short triathlon events with the approximate distances of 15 miles of cycling, 3 miles of running, and a quarter mile of swimming. A standard triathlon includes approximately 25 miles of biking, 6 miles of running, and nearly a mile of swimming. Ultra-distance triathlons comprise up to 26-mile run, a 112-mile bike ride, and a 2.5-mile swim.
