How Effective is Training if you Don't Know Where You Are, or Where You're Headed?

We've all been there; determined that this is the time to push through to that next level of fitness. Sometimes we change our diets, sometimes we change our fitness routine, sometimes we try new products, new coaches, or new cycling routes. We pour our energy into it, giving ourselves a hundred percent believing if we just stick to it, it'll come. But often it simply does not. How are we to figure out why?

Most of us stick with what we know has been thoroughly researched.  Like the high-end performance tests elite athletes (think Lance Armstrong) get to clinically show exactly how well the body is performing, metabolic and biomechanical analysis, ventilatory threshold,  lactate and VO2max (maximum oxygen uptake) test results are compared over a period of time to scientifically determine exactly how well the body is responding to training. This allows for instant fine-tuning of your fitness routine, making the training immediately more effective. But there aren't many facilities offering testing and those that are can be quite expensive which has made this golden knowledge out of reach for the average person.  That is, until now.
