Should i refrain from all running/soccer for a few weeks to aid the healing of my runner's knee ?

Hi all, I have runner's knee and i have self developed a 'recovery plan' to heal this that contains strengthening of my glutes/quads/hip adductors etc and regular icing. My only question is, should i take a break from my running and soccer ? I have a feeling that if i take a break for 4-6 weeks, it will do me good as i haven't had a rest from this routine for the last 4 years, even during holidays. ( I run 4miles 3x a week and play soccer on the weekends)
