Thanks for any info
For your crit training you want to do several things.

Assuming you already have a good base, you want to work on short very intense efforts, and quick recovery.

So intervals like 30 seconds on 30 seconds off for a set of 10 are good for crits.

One minute intervals are also good for crits.

I'd concentrate on the short intervals before I worried too much about the sprint. You have to be there at the end for it to matter.

To work on your sprint, do it on a seperate day. 15 second all out efforts, with lots of rest between, like 5-10 minutes, will work on your sprint.
