In cold weather, it's best to do this routine 10 minutes into your run, to allow your muscles time to warm up.

10x High knees
10x Butt kicks
10x Sweepers
10x walking quad stretch
Carioca
Heel and toe walks
Stretching and mobility exercises after your workouts are important to recovery. Runners World and Canadian Running Magazine will both are articles with pictures and video on different routines
Some daily injury-prevention exercises that are great are:
Hip lifts (double leg and single leg)
Calf raises on the edge of a step
Single leg toe touches
Strength and mobility training workouts
I will try to post some workout ideas here, however I would strongly recommend the Nike Training Club App. It's free and has a ton of workouts with full videos.
Some of my favourite workouts that build hip, ab, and glute strength (which is what many distance runners lack) are:
Glute and Hip Strength
Quick Hit Lower Body
Jump Start
Quick Core Crunch
Some longer, full body workouts that are well suited for runners are:
Complete Crush
Peaks and Valleys
Pace Breaker
The Descent
Burpees, Bounds, and Bridges
