Reducing risk by progressing time or miles? When does this stop?

So If I keep doing the same mileage then my body will immediately stop adapting? I must always do more to elicit an adaptation? Or would it be safer to make even smaller increases so the body adapts before adding more stimulus like 10% a month? I was reading that it can take 1 month or more for the bones and tendons to adapt (https://theconversation.com/taking-up-running-heres-what-you-need-to-know-to-make-it-to-february-70497).

Also, if you do the math. If someone started at 10 miles and added 10% each week then after 52 weeks they should be able to do 1291.30 miles a week.... I am not sure if this 10% sure is a good one.
