Can't run straight

At the MK16, Mr Wise Owl was trying out one of his new gadget thingies for his camera. He took a series of photos in quick succession which allowed me to see myself effectively running in slow motion.
The most striking thing I noticed is that when my feet hit the ground they are not pointing forwards but are turned inwards. I've never really thought about how I run before - I've just put one foot in front of the other. Should I be worried about my strange crooked running gait or will I do myself more harm than good if I attempt to correct it ...?

    If you are not getting injuries I shouldn't worry about it too much. In fact, I think quite a lot of runners are "pigeon-toed" if you look hard enough. If you are seriously worried you could get a gait analysis (quite expensive, sometimes useful) or see a podiatrist but I should just be yourself and avoid people with fancy cameras....
