By playing solo what is the fastest way to get to the long run?
The fastest way to get to the long run is to shorten the long run.
That is always minimise N0 by an means available - wonging is the best bet.
Norm - could these two posts be put somewhere here so I don't keep referring to them:

Maybe you could set up a CVCX example for people to play with.

The absolute fastest way
Use an optimal bet ramp and bet the same thing over and over.
The problem is then you have a stated ROR due to table minimums. Some may think this to be reckless Also, one cannot get to the long run if they go broke! To be able to bet the same thing; or close to it, over and over must, MUST bet a very small fraction of Kelly
The above generally holds true even with micro banks because if they don't go broke future earnings are possible.
Wonging, 2 hands, speed of play, game selection also important
Lesser so count used and Indicies, all those sand box fighting topics

while i guess N0's aren't actually the long run, i guess they are a close thing that we can put a number on that is getting towards the vicinity of the long run.
consider the thoughts in this link:

one thing though regarding that tactic would be a consideration of frequency of the optimized plays, i believe.

Depends on your def of "long run". If by "long run" you mean a virtual 100% certainty of not being a loser, well 3N0 (9x N0) would give you a 99.865% chance of being at break-even or ahead of the casino. If you want even more 5N0 (25x N0) would give you a 99.99997% chance of being at break-even or ahead. Because certainty of being at break-even requires exponentially larger sample sizes having a low N0 to begin with is essential. 25x 35,000 is a lot longer than 25x 10,000.

Sorry BA,
It doesn't work that way. The value of N0 depends solely on the game, your count, your unit (ie 1-M) spread and your Wong point.
What fraction of your ekb (equivalent Kelly Bankroll) you are using to determine your betting unit makes no difference to N0.
That's just how things work.
Brett.
