I actually started a run/walk interval (3min/1min) this year hoping to cut down on injuries, but still got leg cramps. I'll probably start foam rolling and stretching on a daily basis (hopefully), and maybe even try to strengthen hamstrings and calves.
I used to do R/W/R and had major cramping issues. At the encouragement of my coach, I abandoned that method a few years ago and haven't had near the race-day issues with cramping. I won't say it's never crept back up, but it's certainly not as common and painful as before. Maybe my intervals were too long or too infrequent or something, but it just didn't work for me. I do know it's been a great method for many others.
