Depending on the volumes of running and overall goals, I'm pretty much convinced that an "in-season" runner should keep the volume of weight-training down for the lower body, and make injury-prevention stuff a priority.

Joint mobility work and such would be top of the list, along with hip/hamstring strength. If you want to throw squats/deadlifts in, I don't see a problem really, but you have to account for the impact those lifts can have on recovery. I'd also not expect any significant strength gains on them, either.
