Kipchoge confident he'll conquer 2-hour barrier

Kenyan marathoner being backed by British billionaire for record attempt

OXFORD, England - Eliud Kipchoge has funding from Britain's richest man for his bid to break the two-hour marathon barrier again later this year.

The fastest marathon runner of all time announced plans for the record attempt during an April 30 visit to the track at Oxford, where Roger Bannister ran the first sub-four-minute mile 65 years ago.
