Was a bit apprehensive with having to do two 8 minute runs, but somehow it felt ok - a bit hard at the end but I think I need to slow down a bit. Is the next run really 20mins! 😱

Well done. Everyone is terrified by the thought of 20 mins. Just be confident that it is here because you are ready for it.
You will need to go slowly, especially at the the start.
And you may encounter your first big mental battle as your mind flips over into panic mode and deploys all of its gremlins to try to stop you.
It is a great, landmark run and you will have a great buzz afterwards. Enjoy it!
