Gaining muscle is about utilizing excess energy for muscle growth. Burning yourself out with extra cardio during a bulk can be a little counterproductive, even if trying to maintain a level of leanness, not that 5 miles a week is even near approaching a high level of cardio, but still more of a general point to make.

If you want to do aerobic work while in a bulk keep to more sprinting/interval training and low on occurrence.
