Here is one tip from the article:
"Don't Bounce. Try to keep your stride low to the ground and focus on quick stride turnover. Too much up-and-down movement is wasted energy and can be hard on your lower body. The higher you lift yourself off the ground, the greater the shock you have to absorb when landing and the faster your legs will fatigue."

FROM GFR:
Landing on your fore foot will take away some of the bounce that you get when running on your heel. As you land on your heel, your body has to travel across your whole foot before toeing off which causes a lot of up and down motion. Landing on your midfoot is a quick easy motion, that when coupled with a quick 180 stride or cadence helps you run smooth!
A tip on running smooth is to pick a point down the road as you are running and if you notice that point moving around a lot, try to keep it as level as possible as you then alter your form.
