Musa's passion and energy shine through this interview as he takes me through his journey from attempting and hating the gym to struggling through Comrades to running and ultimately falling in love with ultra-trail marathons that now define and balance his life. 

Throughout our conversation the importance of the trail community in Musa's life and how it has shaped him as a person and a runner kept coming up as we discussed what it means to him and why it is so prevalent and important in the Cape Town running scene.
