If I'm running about 50mpw and get injured if I go much over that can I see improvement by walking 60+ miles per week in addition to my running?

"Walking - Strolling, to soften the muscles, can replace an easy run. The East African athlete thinks nothing of going on a 3 hour leisurely stroll." p. 283, More Fire by Toby Tanser
That will take a lot of time, but I think it would help. I think even just standing helps your running, to a small degree. If you can't run, which do you think is better - sitting on the couch, or walking for 60 miles/15 hours? Seems like a no-brainer.
