'Fast' and 'quickly' can both be adverbs, but to run 'very quickly' is to take a very short time eg' He ran to the shop very quickly to get some milk', whereas 'fast' refers to the speed of the runner eg 'For a 100 metre sprinter he certainly runs very fast.' For everyday use you can use both to mean the same.
