This is a subject of much debate. Audax riding doesn't really compare to marathon running as you don't attempt that kind of output for the same amount of time. Audax riding is far more comparable to long distance walking, such as the Tour de Trigs and so on. It's also difficult to compare as the impacts on the body are quite different. If pushed for an answer I'd say somewhere between a 50m and a 100m TT is the closest you'll get to a marathon.
