I’m actually doing this right now. I first recomend taking a serious look as to whether you have the ability to manage your own schedule (maybe find an outside coach). Then I would contact all the colleges you are thinking about running at and ask them their opinion, in most cases it is fine especially if you state that you coach was getting you injured. Then make sure that their will be unattached competitions in your area, there are quite a few in mine so I am lucky. If you have any questions feel free to post on my log or pm me. Good Luck!
