Yeah I used to. Rest is really the only thing I did for them. Also i would suggest staggering the length of your runs. Gives your body some time to heal. Like if your long run is 4-5 miles, save that for a Saturday. Then run say 2 miles on monday, Wednesday and thursday. This will help with you endurance and slowly up the mileage on the weekends. What kind of shoes are you running in?
