Have you heard yet?  I'm in the same position.

I called the organisers, but they won't take calls on this until Tuesday by the sound of the recorded message.

I'm still waiting to hear from the London Marathon organisers as to whether I've been successful or not in the ballot.  I'm surprised that I've still not heard, a week after people started to get the good/bad news.  The organisers are not replying to any queries until next week.  Clearly I can just sit impatiently and wait until next week, but wondered if anyone else has had a similar experience

I'm putting my training plan together for the Dublin Marathon in October and want to have a good mix of exercises.  Previously I had been running 4-5 days a week, but experienced a variety of overuse injuries.

My plan for the Marathon is to include a mix of road running, interval training on a grass track, cycling and gym work.  An issue this raises is the number of days in the week.  Hence my question:  Can cycling to and from work twice a week be considered as active recovery?  For info, my cycle ride is relatively flat on a good road and is a steady round trip of 38k.

 I welcome all thoughts.

 Thanks
