Just how to even out your stride, I guess. My left leg always is far more sore than my right and I know it's because I lead with it and favor it.

You may already address this, but my husband, who is a beginner runner (very recently!) has lately been asking about the best things to do for recovery after the run. Should he use compression tights, should he ice, should he take something, how sore should he be, yadda, yadda, yadda. It may not be directly about injury prevention, but it does lend itself to being properly ready for the next run.

In my internet wanderings today I came across this interesting blog complete with video of Priscah Jeptoo. It's an interesting view on aspects of running form.
It's interesting to watch how different the form is between the top 3 finishers. The second one by far has the tidiest form. Third place has all her stride out in front with what some would call insufficient hip extension at push-off. Just goes to show that form isn't everything!Living life like there's no tomorrow.
