Your training rides should be anywhere from 4-5 hours to 45 minutes, depending on the phase your in.

Obviously to do well in 45 minute crits, you don't need tons of long rides. But getting some long rides in will help, particularly in the base phase.

As you move into the preperation phase, and then peak, you'll want to cut back on miles, and increase intensity.
