Sure. The anterior tilt is typically caused by short hip flexors and weak glutes/hamstrings to pull the pelvis back into a level position. I'd suggest:

1. Loosening up the hip flexors. There are quite a few good stretches you can do for this. Try these first: https://recoverathletics.com/best_exercises_for_tight_hip_fl...

2. Strengthen up the glutes. Try these: https://recoverathletics.com/the-best-exercises-to-strengthe... and https://strengthrunning.com/2019/04/glute-strengthening-for-...

Before you run, try some "glute activation" exercises to get them fired up and working properly before you begin your session. Doing a few single leg glute bridges is probably enough to get them going. Single leg dead lifts are also good, I find.

When you are running, try to focus on keeping the glutes engaged as this will keep the hips from tilting forward. You can feel when you hips are level because your body will feel much more stable - especially when running over rough ground - and you'll feel the power coming from the glutes much more.

Best of luck!
