Basically overtraining occurs when there is insufficient rest for a given training volume. Recovery and supercompensation never get a chance to occur. I have written a fairly comprehensive article summarizing the recognition and avoidance of overtraining at www.grapplearts.com. Summarized from the article are some of the most reliable signs and symptoms of overtraining:
Signs and Symptoms you have overtrained in the past (20/20 hindsight) include
Best performances occured after short notice.
You always get sick before a competition
You always get injured before competition
Underperformance
Delayed Peaking
Signs and symptoms that you are overtraining in your current training regimen include:
Increased resting heartrate.
Increased time for heartrate to recover between intervals
Increased heartrate for a given training intensity.
Apathy, depression and lack of enthusiasm for training
What do you feel are the most reliable signs and symptoms of overtraining for you? You can check out the whole article at http://www.grapplearts.com/Overtraining.htm
