Running is the best therapy I've ever had

Lets kick some ass guys. Training starts tomorrow morning !!!

"Research shows exercise can help people with depression because it releases feel-good brain chemicals such as endorphins. It can also improve self-esteem, through better body image or achieving goals, as well as relieving feelings of isolation which can fuel mental illness.

For years O'Sullivan has suffered from depression which resulted in mood swings. In snooker's 2006 UK Championship it caused him to walk out of a quarter-final against a stunned Stephen Hendry. He was fined £20,000 and docked 900 ranking points.

He says he has tried many things to combat his demons and was on Prozac when he won his first world title.

"[Running is] the best therapy I've ever had," he says.
