* The simplest is to be aware of the problem and notice where your feet land in relation to your body.
* Listening to the sound your feet make when landing can give a clue to overstriding and other problems. Your feet should make a soft patting sound rather than scraping or slapping.

* The ideal option is [[High Speed Video Analysis]].
