This is a book I own which is basically exactly what you describe. I recommend it to all runners.

You are exactly right, you are hurting because you are changing the form you learned to run with. Heal striking chips away at your knees, legs, hips, and back which you will feel down the road. Now that you are landing on the balls of your feet (I assume), you are pushing off and using more foot muscles and shin muscles. These aren't used in heal strikers, so you need to train them too.

All pains/injuries on your knee and below can be solved by doing foot drills. This is an excellent read on all running injuries, to fix and prevent them.

Hmm, any tips on selecting a good coach? I just started running for fun on my own, and I've been figuring everything out on my own from books (like this and this), online forums, etc. I might benefit from some coaching, but I'm not sure how to distinguish the good ones from the quacks. Sports and fitness is an area where there just seems to be a lot of uneducated, superstitious bullshit out there, even among professionals.
