I've got the opportunity to do one of these for £120 (a good price so I'm told).
Has anyone had one of these done and can you confirm that the return on investment was a good one?

The big problem is that you will probably have a different VO2max for swimming, biking & running. There are various self tests available to set your training zones and can be done as often as you like: Swimsmooths CCS test for swimming: Joe Friels TT tests to determine heart rate or power zones on a bike: For running you can use standalone race results to set training zones. All are free, repeatable and are sport specific.
However, I would be tempted by the test for ??120 simply out of curiosity. Ideally it would be taken at the start of a more intense training block and I would like a follow up once the hard work has been done. ??120 could be better invested in say an aero helmet with proven benefits or a few sessions with a good coach.

Cheers Harry, I'm particularly interested in bike VO2max scores.
As I'm on a bit of a budget I'll be trying these first!!
