Couldn't agree more. One would think that you could just throw of your shoes and run "naturally". The problem is that our feet and legs have become so accustomed to wearing heavy shoes, that our body has forgotten how to do it!
The best tips I can give are:

1. Don't try too hard to land on your forefoot/toes, you will probably end up with a stress fracture.
2. Stand-Tall!
3. Push your hips forward
4. High cadence...no really, higher! Quick small steps.
5. Be patient and take your time. Build up very, very slowly.
6. Enjoy
