​Owner and Operator of The Running Hub since October 2004, John has guided The Running Hub's growth from the 900 square foot original location on Montezuma near the railyard district to 1200 square feet on the west side of the El Mercado Center on Cordova to the current 1900 square foot space next to Dulce on the east side of the El Mercado Center on Don Diego.  During this time sales at The Running Hub have increased three fold.

John holds a Master’s Degree in Physical Education with a specialization in Biomechanics and undergraduate degrees with teacher certification in Mathematics, Health, and Physical Education.

A runner since 1972 and life-long running shoe enthusiast, this native Texan is also an avid skier, golfer, biker and triathlete.  In addition to his work at The Running Hub, Coach Lumley enjoys coaching local runners and triathletes.

As a university track and field/cross country coach, John was nationally known as a program builder.  He was instrumental in building two of the most successful track and field programs in the NCAA Division I Southland Conference. Most recently as Head Track and Field Coach at Sam Houston State University (1989-1998) and from 1980-1989, as Assistant Track and Field Coach at The University of Texas at Arlington.  John says the most rewarding role in his coaching life was the opportunity to mentor young coaches who aspired to coach in the college ranks.  Former Lumley assistants have served as head or assistant coaches at UT-Arlington, UT-San Antonio, Texas State, Stephen F. Austin State, Nichols State, Sam Houston State, Texas Tech, Abilene Christian, LeTourneau University, Harding University and Garden City Community College.

Stephen has completed races from 5ks up to ultra-marathons. “My favorite distance races are 100-milers. You get so tired that you don’t have the energy to be anyone other than who you are at the most basic level.” His most memorable race was Susitna 100 where he was required to pull a sled with food and survival gear through the frozen Alaskan wilderness. Stephen looks forward to helping you reach your running goals.
