Really cute runners!!
In this first photo, it kind of looks like all the lights are the same, so I would be tempted in cut all my darks and one light into strips (lets say 3" wide for an example) and sew one dark and a light tog. Press the seams (I generally press to t he dark) then cut the sewn strip into 3" pieces If you want a variation in the combinations, I would cut the lights into long strips and cut my darks into strips that are a multiple of 3" in length (ie 6,9.12,15 plus a smidge for squaring up) and just strip piece them tog.
The second runner looks like a trip around the world. I would cut long strips , sew then tog in the correct order and then sew the first strip to the last (you will now have a circle) cut your strips then "unpick" between the top block and the bottom block. This blog has some pics that might help
