There are some days where I've done so much running that it becomes painful to walk, which only worsens if I don't rest, and I've recently had some issues with knee pains. How can these be mitigated/treated/avoided?

Sounds like you need to rest.

Jokes aside, you actually need rest to progress. It doesn't hurt to take a week off or skip a run or two to recover. Slow down your mileage ramp up too. Slow progress is still progress in the end.

Taking a week off? I struggle with taking a day off.
