Definitely get creative with verb choice. Sometimes it also works to add an action to make an adverb unnecessary.

Here is an example:

Joe ran quickly.

Joe's heart pounded in his chest as he sprinted away from the beast.

Sprinted is a stronger verb than ran, and the added action of the pounding heart shows that he was running quickly.
