Other than for pure long-distance/endurance racing, high intensity interval training is far more effective to increase cardiovascular and respiratory capacity. Some long-distance steady-state cardio is great for building endurance, but a long run or two a week combined with two sessions of interval training and some strength training will be much more effective - especially for officiating - than simply going out and running 3 miles.
All that said, I still run 3-4 miles a couple times a week.
