I am going into the woods this weekend (weather permitting) with my wife to shoot some shots of her trail running. These will be staged shots, not event photography, so I will have lots of flexibility. I am going to be using my simple Fuji X10 and will have a speedlight strobe with shoot through/bounce umbrella.
I really loved chefs photo's from the cyclocross event and want to go for a similar "gritty look"
these are the photos I have been looking at for inspiration:
I am thinking shoot the tough triangle of wide angle/fast shutter/skinny aperture. I want to freeze the motion and see the environment. So crank up the iso a bit a lean on my strobe to light my wife.
any tips or should of could of would of's from previous shoots I should know about?

hmmm, maybe I am using the term wrong... When I said "skinny aperture" I meant high Fstop, like F8 or F11. Is the correct definition of "skinny" a more open aperture like f2 of f2.8?
But, as far as the look I want, yep, that picture is what I am going for for sure. Minus the mountains  But we should have beautiful color in the leaves.

Here's a friend's (ex co-worker) website. I believe he has some tutorials as well. I think he left my work about 6 years ago to solely do his photography.

Not sure if it will help you or not, but I pass his page on along in hopes it can.

These are the type of shots I want to add to my portfolio too. I've been mostly unsuccessful at races, need to work on this

I found a video on youtube showing this picture:
I linked to the important stuff, the beginning is just them driving to the location. They don't talk specifics, but you can at least see the shoot.

I was honestly surprised to find out the runner in that shot wasn't composited in.
