Default The best training books?

I know this has been covered before but I'm asking for a different reason then usual. I'm working on a web page that does 2 things. First it's a chart that shows corresponding percieved exertions, heart rates, speeds, training zones for different systems ( e.g. lactate threshhold), etc. Secondly it will allow you to put in a variety of measured heart rates or speeds from testing ( the tests which come from the books for which I'm asking for recommendations ) and it will automatically calculate the training zones ( heart rate, speed, or RPE depending on the particular methodology of the particular book ). I have several good books at the moment but wanted to make sure I didn't miss any which have good, scientifically based training plans. Yes...it's true, I am both a sports physiology nerd and a computer nerd.

Does this sound like a useful tool to anyone? Perhaps one already exists and I'm reinventing the wheel.

Thanks,
C!

Don't know of another tool like that. Sounds prety cool. The two scientificly based books that I read most often are Daniels Running Meathod and the Lore of Running.
