Maybe it was merely the effects of the draught here last year, but some of the plants were small with small dry berries. I really should see what they are going to do this year, and water appropriately if the weather is dry again. The plants have been in place for about 5 years.
 
I did pull some of the runty looking plants and set new runners to root in their place last year. Maybe the plants were just getting old.

Happy Spring all!! About the strawberries. What makes you think these
are virus-infected? Are they exhibiting disease? I've had my
strawberries in the same place for 15 years, and pull the entire patch
every 3-4 years because the strawberries get smaller etc. I know this is
basic, but when you said "years old strawberry patch", it seemed to me
that it might be just age.  Barbara Harrick

Can you plant them somewhere else for a while?

Current recommendations seem to be for at least two or three years' 
rotation inbetween strawberry plantings.

here's an example:

Some people are recommending brassicas in the rotations for disease 
control: an example of this:
