Just keeping track of some low weight / body weight squats that can be helpful for runners.

• Zercher Squats - Hip width, front squat position with weight held in elbows.
• Sumo Squats - Wide legged, with kettlebell held between legs. Keep arms straight and allows hips to raise kettlebell.
• Jump Squats - legs hip width apart, squat down and jump, raising arms and land lightly back into a squat position
• Overhead Squats - hold light weight overhead and squat with the straight back, should be a similar body position to a front-squat.
• Side Squats - lunge to the side and squat, repeat on opposite side.
• Squat Rotations - Wide legged, arms between legs, rotate while raising arms to the side while standing.
• Split Squats - Like a standing forward lunge
• Skater Jump Squats - Cross one leg behind the other into a squat position, crossing arms the opposite way. Jump and land in the opposite position.

All of these seem to be helpful in training lower body strength in different stabilizing ways.
