I'm using one foot more than the other: how can I stop doing that?
I noticed that when I'm running I'm using my right foot more than my left foot (I'm right handed). I'm pretty sure that this is bad form. What's the best way to stop doing that?

A few things that come to mind:
Get checked for a leg length discrepancy. There are solutions.
Consider getting some inserts for your shoes.
Get one of these: www.amazon.com/Mueller-Jumpers-Knee-Strap-Blue/dp/B000F5R4S6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342985036&sr=8-1&keywords=mueller+knee+strap When you run, don't swing your arms crazily - this can throw off your entire stride. Think of your elbows like elbowing somebody directly behind you, not large, flailing motions.
Go see a podiatrist, you may have a number of possible problems with your foot.
Keep in mind any past injuries.
Focus on maintaining an even cadence. You could listen to a metronome app on your phone, or find a song that has the cadence you're trying to achieve. If you maintain an even cadence, you'll likely be using each leg/foot the same amount.
