I am not an Olympian or even close, but I was not even close to good racing shape 6 months postpartum. Around the 1 year Mark I was close. 18 months was probably when I was 100%.
I had c sections though, so maybe my recovery took longer.
Do you not understand the massive difference between an Olympic level athlete and yourself, both physically and more importantly, mentally? Not to mention, running is her full time job and she can focus more on recovery and would have access to trainers, physical therapists, massage therapists, nannies, etc. Why you would even try to make a comparison between your self and an olympian is amusing. On top of all that, as you mentioned, you had a C section, which is considered a major surgery and would take much longer to recover from than a regular birth. So I think she is going to be just fine and will be ready to compete at 100% much quicker than you were.
Trainers, PTs, and massage therapists don't really help that much.
