Heinz,
Currently making a plan and recording your actual runs are performed seperately. The plan remains fixed whilst you train towards your goal. In many cases this is the best approach approach as your training will vary around the plan somewhat depending on weather, terrain, injury, illness, how you feel etc. It may not all that useful to adjust it when it doesn't truely represent an ability change. I am looking into having the option of daily adjustments for Version 2.
The normal way of changing a plan at present is to go about it this way. When you have exceeded your targets for some time and have run a threshold run or race that exceeds RunCoach's view of your abilities then it is wise to replan based on the new data. You should first update the PB section with your new performance then re-plan the training. This will give you a new fully customised training schedule based on your improved results. Don't feel you have to re-plan every week. One of the big temptations is to constantly change and adust a plan. Try and keep the plan constant unless something significant has changed.
All the best,
Paul
