With over 20 years of experience in the financial industry, Christopher Michael Pan has worked as an auditor, investment banker, and a wealth manager in a variety of business environments. Outside of finance, Christopher Michael Pan’s interests include snowboarding, cycling, and competing in triathlons.
The triathlon is a three-part athletic competition that dates back to the early 20th century. Though the three activities may vary from competition to competition, the most popular form today includes swimming, cycling, and running. Triathlons cater to a range of athletic abilities and can be as short as roughly 16 miles or as long as 140 miles. Just as with a marathon or any other challenging athletic event, training and conditioning are critical. Though training will increase performance and improve times, it more fundamentally helps the competitor avoid injury. 1. Three months (12 weeks) is generally considered an adequate time frame within which to prepare for a triathlon, even if the competitor isn’t in great shape. 2. Overexertion is counterproductive. The total weekly training time should be anywhere between 2.5 to 4 hours, spread out over four to five days. 3. Two of the weekly workouts should be dedicated to swimming and two dedicated to a run-bike combo workout, with each workout lasting 30-45 minutes. On the fifth day, take a longer bike ride lasting 1 to 1.5 hours. 4. Some triathletes recommend completing shorter workouts on the weekdays and reserving the weekends for longer, endurance-building training sessions.
