Say I want a character to have a powered armor/frame with the

Enough power and reinforcement and you can just take longer strides. Possibly MUCH longer strides.The right kind of strength and stride boosts could keep the step to step timing close enough to a normal walk that you just eat the miles.

You mean the main constriction would be the brain?
You can just say people get used to going at super speeds after a while, neuroplasticity and whatever

Jumping stilts are probably the lowest tech you could go. Those just increase the length of strides that can be made, lets people today run as quickly as low-speed vehicles with low effort. Slap some power onto that and it would work suitably, I think.

I assumed, at least in my setting, that the "light" frames would be not necessarily running but practically leaping off the ground in large strides for long-range runs.

this is the way to go here. A serious enough one of these with a computer to enact the minute shifts that makes for efficient movement could get you going pretty dam fast.

"This guy has a suit that gives him super speed."
"How though?"
"Shut up. That's how."

Pretty high jumps, too, as the name implies. Someone who's trained with one of these can just move in ridiculous ways, it's fucking beautiful. Silly-looking, but beautiful.

Replace most nerves with atificial fiberglass, using light pulses instead of eletricity will enhance response speed, so quick reflexes and more precision and control on the movements, but they would be still human speed.

If yuo want to make the body go faster you may want to use artificial muscles and bones, with more strenght to make the movements and resistance to not break itself with the insanely fast movement and impact.
Even the human form could be altered in order to make for a faster gait.

Enjoy obliterating every ounce of cartilage in your body.

So how much of the body would need to be covered to get the apporpriate strength enhancing qualities? Further, would extending the materials over the fingers and individual does make a difference?

The idea I'm going for is basically two levels of armor. The first being a sort of "soft" armor that can be worn under uniforms and generally serves for more load bearing properties allowing you to carry heavy loads and wear heavy armor with greater ease while the second layer is used on top and ranges between exo-skeleton to something like the Umebozus from GITS.

What do you mean with "goes fast"?
Fast sprinting?
Fast martial arts?
Fast break dancing?
All of the above?

Some of it can be done with an exoskeleton but a few things do need cyborg enhancements to work.
