Superhuman: The secrets of the ice man

I can't tell, but I think this is the guy that was featured in a show called Superhumans. In the episode he ran a half marathon above the Arctic Circle with only shorts. No shoes, socks, shirt at remarkable low temperatures. It was thought he would lose his foot(at least his toes) to frostbite, but again remarkably recovered and kept his foot and toes. He was tested during the show by a skeptical scientist and proved that he could actually regulate his own temperature.

I think the episode was on the Science Channel and it also featured a blind artist, a lady that could "see" sound, a mathematics genius, and Ray Kurzweil with his efforts to live to the Singularity (I think he was called Dr Immmortality or something to that effect) It was an intriguing show that stretched the limits to what we think to be possible.
