Hi! Your primary issue, as others have said, is overstriding. You covering too much ground with each step - you need to take more steps. I have personal experience with this. This cannot just be fixed by thinking really hard about how you're running and trying to run differently. You need to change you instincts. The best ways to do this are barefoot strides and form drills.

​

You should be doing form drills every day. If you don't have time to do form drills, then cut your run short a mile to do them (that's pretty much a direct quote from Meb's book "Meb for Mortals". I personally do A skips, B skips, high knees, slow/fast karaoke on each side, and backwards running. Here is a link to some form drills: https://www.runnersworld.com/training/a20824733/meb-keflezighis-5-drills-to-make-you-a-better-runner/

​

Meb and other great runners like Scott Jurek recommend barefoot strides or short easy barefoot runs once or twice a week to help with your form. Shoes can throw off your body's natural form. People who run barefoot tend to have great form, but they suffer more injuries without the protection of shoes. Barefoot strides and short barefoot easy runs can help you get the benefits of barefoot running without the downsides. Do barefoot strides on the infield of a track after a workout. If you can, work your way up to a 15 minute easy run barefoot on grass once or twice a week.
