I thought the runners are supposed to be sent out after the fruit has

I had a huge strawberry patch for over a decade (so I'm a newbie in
gardening terms). I started with four plants of everbearing
strawberries. They sent off runners starting at bloom time, but once the
plants were mature enough to bloom, the runners would shoot off until
the end of the summer.
