I've wanted a heads up display for running for some years. Having a constant display of my pace and power would be wonderful and being reminding of my heart rate would be useful too. I've only had them for a short time, but here are (I’ve replaced my initial thoughtsSolos glasses with [[ActiveLook Smart Glasses]]. )
* While they have many flaws, having a constant display of pace, power, heart rate, and cadence is as awesome as I'd expected. It allows me to stay at my goal intensity, and I think that's going to improve my training. I can detect when I'm easing up or going too hard and adjust early. The synergy with [[Stryd]] is huge (see below.)
* I find the display especially useful in the dark. I find I run slower in the dark, possibly because I don't have the visual pace cues. Having a continuous power display offsets this problem and I'm more consistent. Another situation is during interval training, where I find keeping my effort where I want it is tricky. As fatigue builds up during the interval, my sense of effort is distorted.
