The augmented-second zones are the reason for the dedicated runs. If Db or Ab is treated like a passing chromatic note, the cycle loses its gravity.

Practice notes
Name Db and Ab every time they appear. The fingering should teach the ear that these notes belong to the scale.
Keep one bar per chord. The discipline is to hear the full harmony, watch the voice movement, and let the hand learn the nearest playable shape without breaking the cycle.
