Two Minutes Straight as Fast as He Can as Many as He Can Get. How Many did He Get? A Lot!
Toben Cocklin- Part man Part myth. You may not know him now. But you will.
Shortly after taking care of orphans while volunteering overseas with the Peace Corp. Toben Cocklin decided to use his Good looks and Genius level I.Q. for the greater good.
First while trying to break into Hollywood he was quietly asked by Brad Pitt and Matt Damon to do something else. They didn’t need the competition.
So he searched for a way to do the greatest good. That’s right he became an attorney.(Finished his undergraduate degree at Notre Dame in 2 years. But waited 2 more to graduate so his classmates wouldn’t feel bad about themselves.)
After arriving in Fort Worth and getting settled in. When not pursuing his part-time hobby of working on a Cure for Cancer. He worked out pretty consistently. But he got Tired of the same old routine.
Running stairs and spending hours in the gym lifting weights. Nothing challenging, nothing new. Not really falling out of shape not getting into better shape.
My client and his co-worker Ryan Valdez heard his concerns and said “come with me try it out.”
I knew it on the first day. Just like a Ferrari. Toben didn’t have just 4 or 5 gears. He had 6 Gears! and a 7th! and Overdrive! Some people just have it.
So why not tap into it?
Few weeks later he’s leaner, lighter and stronger than ever before. And then the fun began.
Toben currently holds the World Record for least amount of training for a Marathon.(Remember the general recommendation is 1-2 years of consistent training to build up to a 26mile attempt)
His training consisted of over a 4 week period.(BTW. I did not put this together nor do I recommend it)
1. a run of 4 miles
2. a run of 9 miles
3. a run of 12 miles
4. a run of 16 miles
Freakish Tenacity and Strength. Want proof.
He Bench Pressed 315lbs for 6 reps in training 4 days before the marathon.
I can honestly say I’ve never seen that before and probably won’t ever again.
Because he’s destined for Greatness the run was recorded.

That set the course for Toben.Shortly after finishing his volunteer work at the Childrens Hospital. And being the only person in Texas approved to practice law shirtless. He set his sights on the longer distances.
And true to his nature of Excellence Always.
Tobin Cocklin went loooooooong this weekend at the Bandera Endurance Run in Bandera Texas. Completing 50k of the most up and down godforsaken hellacious uneven unforgiving terrain in our great state in 7hours 30min.
Is there anything he Can’t Do? I doubt it. And He’ll do it while wearing a Tuxedo.
And yes Ladies, He’s single.
