I am no expert at Informatics Olympiad, for I did not get very far there, but you can start at http://poj.org/ http://www.usaco.org/ How much time is a pretty weird question. I mean, how much better you get with practice is not purely a function of time but also depends on how much effort you put in and how you put it in. For some people few hours a week might suffice. For some others it will be tens of hours every week. There is not magic number above which you are doing good. This is a good book to start out with. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Algorithms
