What Does This Mean?
[ SLANG ][ RUNNING CULTURE ]
Runners who obsessively call out others for training above or below the supposedly optimal low-intensity 'Zone 2' heart-rate range, treated as a recognizable and slightly mockable personality type within run-club culture.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Ran one tempo run and immediately the Zone 2 Police showed up in the comments."
LORE & ORIGIN
Running internet discourse around heart-rate training zones, where Zone 2 training became a popular but sometimes overly dogmatic topic of conversation.
