I've started a new "page" for March, on Wichelt Wood Violet 28ct Jobelan, and the running stitches are in GAST Cherry Bark with embellishment of GAST Butternut Squash. I stitched a "typical" running stitch, and then some variants: threaded running stitch, whipped running stitch, interlaced running stitch, interlaced double running stitch and stepped threaded running stitch. Then, I went a step further and did a pattern darning border which can be found in the "Index of Charts for Medieval Middle Eastern Counted-Thread Embroidery" compiled by Mathilde Eschenbach.
I do a LOT of running stitch, either as backstitch or blackwork. I like the colors you've put together!
