Been lurking for a short while, thought I'd join in!
Regarding two marathons in two weeks, not that I've done it myself (but have done Paris and London in separate years), I'd recommend running Paris as if London wasn't happening, i.e. race it flat out, and treat London as a day out. Recovery plan for me would probably look something like:
Mon - rest/hangover/eat/drink/laugh at attempts to walk down stairs
Tue/Wed - light non-running exercise; swimming, bit of cycling, plenty of walking
Thu/Fri/Sat - 2 days out of 3, light jogging up to 3/4 miles to get the running muscles firing again. Maybe a mini-carb-load between Friday and Saturday lunchtime.
BTW, I'm an official pacer (sub-3; target 2:59) at London this year if that's any good to anyone. Blue start, I think, although there will be one of us on each start. :-)
