If a healthy male trained at 50 MPW for half a year, how fast would they end up running a timed mile?

Obviously it depends on the training. I would guess right around 5:15 ish with good training if they are average, and also under 30.
Go learn yourself.
Get a statistically significant sample size of whatever you define an "average healthy male" to be, have them run some arbitrary "50 mpw training plan" that you defined, then make them run it for half a year. Report back with results next year.
See how ridiculous that sounds? That's how ridiculous your questions are.

Yeah I'd say this is probably pretty accurate for someone who is average. Most "average" males will never break 5

Then why can’t David45 run under 6:51 for the mile? FYI, I know that’s a stupid response and it makes no sense, but in about 3 hours that’s what he was going to post. It’s like a tic. He can’t not start the same thread and make the same comment, and honestly I don’t think me saying it will even stop him. He will still say, but yeah, then why can I only run 6:51 in the mile.

That shatters the dreams of anyone who want to join HS track, but aren't good at any other sport
The average person would be injured after attempting to run 50mpw, and their mile time would be 'DNS'.

SOB... he went with the whining about not getting to run in high school, but much quicker than I predicted.

So the average male will get close to maxing out their potential in just 6 months of training?
If you are talking average, completely sedentary, then DNS. Didn't you get injured for 6 months after two and a half weeks of 20 mpw, thereby DNSing cross country tryouts?

Well, everyone here is saying 20 MPW is not much even for someone who is completely new to running, yet these people say the average person can't run that much without getting injured. People keep flipping back and forth.

This^ . I could probably run about 15 miles per week max without getting injured

The details matter. Some are thinking of their active non-runner friends, others, completely sedentary people.
If you start from completely sedentary, you need to build up a lot slower. What injured you a year ago is less than what is fine for you now. Keep building.

I wasn't completely sedentary. I did HS PE in my freshman and sophomore year.

And here we go again. Gym class is bare minimum physical activity.
active non-runner means they do more than that.

Isn't PE required for two years if you aren't doing a school sport? That was the rule when I was in high school in California. So that's the same as doing the lowest that is allowed in your situation. I'd call that completely sedentary.

Yes, PE is only required for two years if you pass the physical fitness test (which I did).
Just focus on making progress.
Check out Tuesdays with True Love on Seth James Demoor's channel. She's way overweight, but making steady progress each week, 12 weeks in. In a year, she'll be transformed.
David claims to have run 3 minutes flat for the 800m with no training, but still hasn't run faster than 6:51 for the mile after months or years of training. Doesn't add up.

I said I have run 3 minutes flat after months of training. I made a mistake in saying I did it off of no training.
