OK, I see what you mean now. I would set the runs to max, as it avoids repetition. As for practice balance, I would do 15 mins of ngrams, and 15 mins of Monkeytype at 10k per session. Occasionally, set it to quotations, but let's be honest, you will get real world practice when you're just typing. I treat all typing as practice. (edit - if you do no real world typing regularly, then use quotations as part of your daily routine). Replying to you now is practice :) One piece of advise I stand by though, is stop when you start to make mistakes... or at least when your mistakes start to increase. At that point it's doing you no good. Weirdly, muscle memory "embeds" itself after you stop practicing... even when you're asleep that night. You always notice improvements the next day (or at least several hours later), and never while you are actually practicing. Take breaks and split your practice into smaller sessions rather than one mammoth session.Enjoy.
