1/4 of a 5-mile race is 5/4 * 1/4 = 5/16 miles.
So, the runner can run 5/16 miles in 8 minutes.
Therefore, the runner can run 5/16 * 2 = 10/16 = <<5/8=5/8>>5/8 miles in 16 minutes. Answer: \boxed{\frac{5}{8}}\text{ miles}.
Solve this multi-step problem. A runner completes 1/4 of a 5-mile race every 8 minutes.
At the same pace, how far can the runner go in 16 minutes?
