You might find this book (Brain training for runners) useful/interesting:

I had never really thought about the things (poor form) that make me an inefficient runner also make me more prone to injury. He gives tons of useful strength, stretches and drills to improve both running economy and hopefully will make me less likely to get injured.

Brain Training for Runners had some nice mental-physical cues for improving running form and general advice on the topic.

Anecdotally, I found just running a lot ends up improving your form.

Just like everything in running, re-training your stride takes a lot of time to do effectively. Just because you're no longer heel striking doesn't mean that you suddenly have good running form.

I recently read the book Brain Training by Matt Fitzgerald. This book takes a two pronged approach to improving form. The first is to correct the muscle imbalances associated with a lifetime of sitting, sloth and shoes. The second is to work visualize yourself running with good form using proprioceptive cues where you focus on small form improvements for a week at a time.

My tips for retraining your form is to 1) take it slow 2) strengthen your core.

I do lots of short slow distance "off" days. It's worked pretty well despite running daily, even during a training program. I've even done sprint-walk and run-walk intervals to take some load off my legs (and stress off my mind if it's a miserable summer day for a run). The feeling is definitely mutual, though, on running everyday. If you decide to cross-train but keep running in mind without having to go to the gym, the dynamic stretches and proprioceptive training cues I found on Brain Training for Runners won me over.
