I took workshops. But that's my learning style. It's really hard for me to learn physical skills from books - videos are somewhat easier for me, but I learn physical skills best in a hands-on, interactive setting. I know plenty of people who've done very well with the book and/or DVD.



And, +1 on the dangers of overstriding. One easy check is, WITHOUT bending at the waist, you shouldn't be able to see your toes while you're running. You can open up your stride behind you as much as your flexibility and core strength will allow, but you don't want your feet to land ahead of your center of gravity.
