Only just recovered from the challenge of 5 minutes non stop running, and now it’s 8! And not only that but I had to do it TWICE!

If you've done the other runs and not actually died, you will be just fine, your body is totally ready. You've already run for nearly that long, just with a little break. You can totally do it!! I have faith in you!!
