As Angela Lee Duckworth (New York Times bestseller author, founder and CEO of Character Lab) puts it - the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a special blend of passion and persistence called “grit.” Grit is a major driver and predictor of success. Can one learn or acquire "grit"? How do we train ourselves to be "gritty"? In this episode, we invite Jenny Huang (founder of HelloPhysio and elite marathon runner/duathlete who is the only female to complete 100km in under 11 hours at the 2013 Sundown Ultra Marathon) to share with us her journey on how coping with a divorce and wanting to lose tummy fat from childbirth - eventually led to competitive running.
