Good stuff, did it feel more efficient?
Try strengthening those calves, they get worked over hard when you don't heel-strike.
@chalfie you recommended a youtube/insta running trainer/physio maybe 6 months ago - do you remember the details? He showed me a great alternative to the usual heel raise exercise which has really helped me.

I realised I've probably been running wrong! Never really gave it any thought. I run 1 or 2 times a week off road for 45mins-1hr.
Normally try and run as fast as I can, probably a bit hunched over and heel striking!
Today I switched to some Alras, tried increasing cadence, slowing down and mid strike.
It felt weird a bit like I was trying to run on the spot more than forward. Increasing cadence whilst slowing down also felt odd. Definitely got the mid foot strike and posture sorted.
