Good Stuff From Master Chai
Okay, first of all my personal congrats to Octavious. Thanks for keeping us posted during your adventure.
About roadwork, yes by all means. You should run every day as early in your day as you can. Master Chai always told me to jog in the morning, not for the body, but for the mind. You run intervals or hills or wind sprints for the body, plus the miles. At many camps you will run maybe 6-10 miles early in the morning, then skip rope for 15-30 minutes before going to school. The big workout is in the afternoon, close to fight time. Dale Kvalheim advocates 10-mile runs with a finishing sprint of 1/4 mile. If you are training to fight you should definitely end your run with a sprint.

A link...
This is a good place to start to gather some info on how the body develops endurance, and whether or not "Road Work" is necessary. Personally, I wouldn't give it up... until my knees do.

Importance of Roadwork
How important is roadwork? If it is important, then do you do distance runs, sprints, or both?
