How would speed of a marathon show endurance?

How does it not? Running 26 miles takes endurance and running it fast takes even more endurance.

Stride length would like a word.

Strength, speed, and endurance are related. You're right. But it's not as clear as faster time == better endurance.

Longer stride length also equals a heavier body weight to move. I'm sure there's some sort of graph where the vertex represents the most efficient combination of those factors.
