Could you leave a replay of you running? I could help you out more if I knew what you were doing.
Balance is hard to explain because it's mostly discovered on your own, as you develop it with your own running style, but her eI go anyway.
The lumbar and chest are a huge variable in running. They can move your arms to balance yourself, as if an animal balancing itself with their tail. Try rotating the chest both ways when you are about to fall, then look at your glutes. Are they relaxed? Being held? Extended? Contracted? I'd suggest not to play too much with the glutes if you are just starting to learn the basics of running. Just hold you glutes for as much as you can and look at the other joints.
When your feet are going down to follow with the next step, make sure they aren't pointing at the ground. It will lift you too much, cause a balance problem, or make you jump.
Never keep your arms symmetrical with each other. This will easily tip you over. Try to focus one arm to the side, one arm partially in the middle, with the elbow sticking out a bit, and playing with the chest. Try rotating the chest with each other step you take, trying to balance yourself out.
But, as I said earlier, please leave a replay. It'll be much easier to explain if you show me what needs to be explained. ;)
