I wouldn't be too form obsessed as it's probably an imbalance causing the form issues rather than the other way around and your form will fall apart as soon as you get tired anyway. Get everything strong and firing properly and your form will improve unless you have a comically extreme running form. I've been through this a few years ago months of rehab and hundreds of pounds spent but better than ever now. I'll give the long version if your interested ? Needs confirmation by a physio first but sounds exactly the same as my issues

I definitely have imbalances, but any prior work on sorting them has achieved very little. Could easily be that I've not done enough though!
I only started running in my late 20s after cycling for my 20s - ended up very quad dominant. This latest run I went on, I actually focused on keeping my hips aligned and engaging my glutes and felt actual sensations back there, so that was exciting. I'm kinda unconvinced my body will just settle in to running correctly if I strengthen the right bits but maybe I'm wrong!Would be interested to hear the long version of the tale if you're up for writing it up though.

"Broken record" post warning.
Been gradually upping the distance again, and it's been going okay. Last few runs the itb tightness has starting coming back, bordering on pain. I've started trying to be more conscious of my form and becoming aware I'm slightly tilted forward and so likely underusing my glutes. Back to stretching and conditioning. Grumble grumble.
