Not a lot of people know it, but snooker legend Ronnie ‘the Rocket’ O’Sullivan is a seriously fast runner. He tells Adharanand about the difference between the buzz from snooker and the buzz from running, about how the running club is his church, and about his dream to train in Kenya and to run a marathon.
