Let's say John runs 5x miles each morning.
And Paul runs 8x miles each morning.
In total, they run 5x + 8x = <<5x+8x=13x>>13x miles each morning.
That means they must run the length of the track a total of 13x miles, which means the ratio of the length of the track to the number of morning runs is 13x:1. Answer: \boxed{13}.
