If it was my dog, I wouldn't run with it like you are doing until it's bones and joints have finished growing. For your dog, being a female and smallish - around 20 - 24 months.
Exercising like this can contribute to arthritis and possibly hip dysplasia. Be careful about running on concrete and asphalt. Also, be careful about jumping down too much on hard surfaces.

Oh tsk, I thought it was ok. I hope I was not able to inflict damage yet.
Thank you Sir Asomich for sharing the info, God Bless!

You can CERTAINLY WALK her for 10 km a day! You can even lightly jog on and off for a km at a time at this age!
What you want to avoid is a steady, long run of 7-10km without varying the pace day after day.
She will be much happier for the exercise!

40 minutes of vigorous exercise for an 8 month old pup is a good rule. Not more. If it is hotter than 70F (21 C) and you should do less.
