Building a Home (Garage) Gym. Must Have Equipment?

A little background, I am primarily a runner, trail runner in fact. I turn 41 next month and though I'm fairly consistent with my running, I tend to deal with nagging injuries throughout the year. I attribute that to my age and lack of much of any strength training since I started running about 6 years ago. I did a couple months of CrossFit and that seemed to be really beneficial but my wallet took a hit. So instead, I've decided to build a gym at home in my garage. I've been shopping around FB Marketplace and Craiglist and was able to score a good price on some items like a squat rack, barbell, bench, and around 360lbs in weight. I figure it's a good start but my question is, if you were building a home gym from scratch, what items of equipment would be your must haves?
