strawberrie shoots question

my neighbour has some strawberry plants that have loads of shoots/runners coming off them, she has said i can take some for myself. what do i do ie the shoots are maybe 18" long with a small plant on it at the moment there are no roots just little nodules that are going to become roots.
how far from the main play do i cut these, once cut what next lol
sorry if its lame but am a newbie
