Toes on stairs then drop heels - +1 for this
First couple of weeks can be painful but after that it gets better and it strengthens you as well. Do each leg separately and no jerky movements - always slow into the stretch and slow raise out of it.
Always stretch both calf muscles (gastroc AND soleus) in each leg after every run. A lot of people do one but not the other. A ton of ways to do that google it up and pick your favourite.
