A teenager from Cornwall who wants to be the first professional footballer with cystic fibrosis has managed to complete a full Ironman triathlon during the coronavirus lockdown.

Morgan Coxhead defied his reduced lung capacity to swim 2.6 miles in a paddling pool, run a full marathon around his back garden and cycle 112 miles on a stationary bike.

The 16-year-old took on the epic challenge to raise money for charities that support young people with cystic fibrosis and to keep his fitness levels up as he has not been allowed outside since the start of Covid-19.

These videos were filmed throughout April 2020.
