You can have the class extend the Thread class.
If you don't want to change the code of the old class though you can try to create a new one that extends the old and implements the Runnable interface:

public NewClass extends OldClass implements Runnable {
 
  public void run() {
      ......
  }
}
public NewClass extends OldClass implements Runnable {
   
  public void run() {
      ......
  }
}

You can use an anonymous inner class. Something like:

new Thread(){
  public void run() {
     // some lines of code
   }
}.start();
new Thread(){
  public void run() {
     // some lines of code
   }
}.start();
