Genuine proper tips.

Stretching after running is the pirimary number #1 numero uno best thing you can do to prevent soreness the next day. Do at least three stretches per leg (calf, quad and hammy) and hold each stretch for 15 seconds - that is a bare minimum. It oit doesn't hurt you're not doing it enough. Never "bounce" a stretch - just ease into it and then out again.

However, as a beginner, there's no way to 100% avoid the DOMS - it's going to get you. (Delayed Onset Muscle Stiffness).

Once you got it the best thing to do to help is very light exercise, even though you feel like you'd rather gouge your eyes out with a spoon. A gentle jog for a short distance is enough - just get the blood moving through the muscles a bit quicker than at rest.
