I started my work on straddle running man today and noticed some serious limitations in my flexibility to move my legs up to hip height and getting them far away from my body.  Also some cramping.  Any ideas on what I could work on on the off days in terms of stretching to improve this?  Thanks!

The good ol' running man cramps. I've been there, Zach. 

For specific practice, when these were a crux for me, I did sets every day I trained in which I held my max ROM for 3-5 seconds before bringing the leg back down. The middle split stretch course did the rest.  

Can you post a video?
