Published September 28, 2026 11:53AMFor this article, Outside Run contributor Danielle Zickl spoke to two endocrinologists to find out whether your high-intensity runs are actually messing with your hormones. Key Takeaways: Cortisol rises when your body faces increased physical or metabolic demand, such as exercise. A 2021 study found that cortisol increased immediately after exercise, often fell below baseline about two hours later, and returned to baseline within 24 hours. Signs of abnormally high cortisol include bruising, muscle weakness, wide purple stretch marks, worsening high blood pressure or diabetes, and sometimes changes in fat distribution.

Ford’s newest hire works short shifts, eats before clocking in and has wings. His name is El Charro, and he’s a hawk that scares away pesky pigeons. At its Hermosillo assembly plant, which builds more than 300,000 trucks and SUVs a year, pigeons had become a costly nuisance, the Wall Street Journal reports. They pooped on freshly painted vehicles, got into equipment and even waited for doors to open so they could fly inside. Ford tried blasting recordings of bigger birds and even hung replicas of “predator eyes.” But the pigeons weren’t fooled. So managers hired a falconer. The first…

The last few weeks have not been good PR for AI, as tech titans and researchers continue to blow the whistle on their fears of AI agents going rogue. But Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang isn’t one of these people. He told CBS News there is a “0% chance” AI ends humanity by 2030. Speaking with the New York Times’ Ezra Klein, he called the doomsday predictions from AI pioneers like Geoffrey Hinton “hurtful” and unscientific. His comments are a reaction to an incident in which hundreds of rogue OpenAI agents escaped a testing environment and hacked Hugging Face, the open-model…

Published September 28, 2026 05:18AMYvon Chouinard was still a kid when he got into climbing. By the mid-1950s, he was a regular in Yosemite National Park, one of a small crew figuring out how to climb all the major walls, like Half Dome and El Capitan. But Yvon played a unique role in that so-called golden age of Yosemite climbing, both for his climbing achievements and for what he did with the gear.Back then, climbers secured their ropes to the cliffs by hammering metal pitons into cracks in the rock. But the only pitons commercially available came from Europe and…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Education is not separate from selling, especially in a specialized industry. It is a necessary part of helping customers make a useful comparison and decide on a product. Businesses naturally want to emphasize what their products can do. The harder, and often more important, conversation is explaining what they cannot do. Customer education can’t belong only to the marketing department or sales team. It’s everyone’s responsibility to make sure customers can see the company’s expertise in action. Some businesses sell products that customers already understand. Others have to explain the…

Alongside polar bears, Kodiak bears are considered the largest land carnivores on the planet. As we set out by catamaran on Karluk Lake in Alaska’s Kodiak Archipelago, I am excited, though admittedly a bit nervous. It’s mid-August, and our small group is headed to the Thumb River, one of the best bear-viewing locations on Kodiak Island, the…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Even great MLB pitchers rarely make it past 15 seasons, especially in the modern era. CC Sabathia, however, slung it for 19 electric seasons, becoming one of the most dominant and durable lefties of his generation. But even Sabathia couldn’t outrun Father Time forever, and in 2019, it was time to hang up his cleats. Now, as they celebrate the Yankees retiring CC’s iconic No. 52, Sabathia and his wife, Amber, are reflecting on life after MLB and how they’re giving back to their community through the PitCCh In Foundation. The Sabathias…
