Hi, when the plant sends out a runner and that new plant attaches to ground, do you cut the runner in between the two plants?

Yes - make sure it has established itself a bit first - a few leaves. That stops it taking from the older plant. Next year cut all the runners off before they establish - or start a new lot. After two crops of fruit plant new runners.
