I think they may have a point about the not overdoing it part - you don't want to start off over analyzing your gait and style. It'll be slow at the start while you tweak any weaknesses apparent.

My big one was keeping more upright - I had a sprint coach assigned to me for my sport of choice and they got me to keep my chest up, I had a tendency to let it droop when I get more into my stride, probably because it felt natural and I had been doing it that way for years; sort of lazy like.

It took me a while to get the mechanisms down after years of doing something a specific way, but if you're relatively new to the whole running thing I bet you'll be loving it in no time!
