Hoots : 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 - freshhoot.com

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.
