Mine runs constantly.. It a small pump that uses very little electricity and I don't think it's worth trying to set the times it should run. Live a little...let it run. Be happy, don't waste water, recirculate. It sooo worth the small expense to have hot water when you want it.
When my pump runs I get hot water from both the hot and cold pipes. Reason is the hot water is returned to the hot water tank through the cold water pipe. Guess you have a separate return pipe?
