your day-before plans look solid enough, so that's fine.
on the day just make sure you're fuelled up properly in the morning. a beep test only lasts for a few minutes and you won't have time to 'bonk' like if you were cycling for a few hours. it's a test of aerobic ability, not endurance. eat a little if you're hungry, but don't overeat, just enough to keep your energy levels up.
if you eat too much you run the risk of feeling sluggish while your body digests everything, particularly with running.
also maybe grab some isotonic drinks (powerade or lucozade sport - not the ordinary fizzy lucozade) to keep your electrolyte levels up.
