Still, it might have been interesting to have your blood work done before and after to see what the changes were. There's compelling evidence for fasting. See Micheal Mosley's Eat, Fast and Live Longer documentary:

Personally, I'm following a 5:2 intermittent fast this year while also maintaining 63 mi/week running, including 9 mi on the days I fast.

True. I'll try to get a blood test next time. What are you guys recommendation on what to check?

I am not a doctor. You should definitely talk with a doctor. But, you can google for "health blood markers" which typically includes measuring cholesterol and glucose to start with. For example:

Also, it's probably not a bad idea to measure your blood pressure regularly which you can easily do at home.

I too, would like to know what blood tests are useful in this effort.
