Please help tell me the difference between "fast" and "quick". When use use "fast" and when we use "quick"

Is it better to say: "I am surprised I received your reply very fast" or "I am surprised I received your reply very quick" ?

Many thanks!

Neither. It's "I was surprised to have recieved your reply so quickly".
(or "so soon").

"Fast" and "quick" are adjectives. You need an adverb there.

Fast is an adverb as well as an adjective, isn't it?

 He runs fast.

He runs quickly. Does he run quickly?
