Any advice on fixing a form. I feel I might at times be slouching forward and heel driving I correct it but just keep going back. Kinda getting back into it (started on and off running Jan - April but stopped) but couldn't remember how too have the right form

I often lean forward while running. It's a bad habit that I never really had a reason to break. Then I tried running on an unpowered treadmill that has a curve to the platform (something like this). If I lean forward while running on it, it just keeps going faster, and I have a bad time.

I noticed that as soon as I corrected my form, the treadmill became a much more pleasant experience. If you run on one of those enough, I'm sure you'll make a habit of running with better form.
