Flexibility does not come overnight. Many people begin a stretching program only to abandon it soon after because they haven't seen it make a difference in their runs or flexibility. Studies have shown that performing stretching excercises(YOGA) reduces the risk of injury and soreness. It also reduces soreness felt the next day by decreasing the build-up of lactic acid in muscles. Stretching can also prevent cramps. Some muscles, like calves, have a tendency to cramp up more than usual during a run.
