The definition is very simple. High quality training is a way to plan and execute workouts and life, to perform better in training, racing and life. If either of these fails, than you either over or under trained. If you trained well and raced well and did that for 2 decades, but being honest with you, your actual real life sucked, than that was not a high performance training. It might have been only a perception, due to brain chemical imbalances caused by malnutrition, however, that is part of high quality training too, so actually your training was not that high quality. Your workouts and racing were, but not your training as a complex. The only way to determine the improvements is noting everything important down on a way, that it is easy to have a global view on it. I find that the best way to do so, is to create a yearly excel sheet with month tabs and have the weeks in those. Like this way, I can in a couple of seconds check my training volume, intensity and so.  Training measur

The must have attitude to success I have been sick for over 5 months. With a tooth, that was root canal treated. We call it devitalized in French. Actually that tooth was a little more sensitive time to time than the others, but did not bother me at all. Probably the doctor missed a nerve, so I still had a minimal sensation in the soft tissue on the inside. Actually when my body had inflammation, like after long runs or hard training sessions, it often flared up for one or two days, but we talk about very minimal discomfort. However through out the years, just like any other problem in the body, it grew. I developed a minor cyst. Basically a gunk knot of dying, infected tissue. This was invisible for the x-ray. Fortunately the actual inflammation was so present that the x-ray had a total white-out on on the right side of my head. I was not just inflamed in the tooth area, not just in the sinus cavities, but in my entire right head. Including brain, throat, all the cavities, everything.
