You want to make sure that you are spending enough time warming your body up and stretching it out. A good way to get started (this is my new routine) is to start by walking and then doing a light jog (probably about 7 to 10 minutes of walking/light jogging) to get the body warmed up. Then you want to do mostly dynamic stretching: rotating the neck (front and side to side, not back), arm swings, big arm circles, hip circles, lateral wall swings, knee circles, rotating the ankles, a few squats (side, split, rotational). Then when you are quite warm you can do some static stretches - pull your foot to your rear (quads), foot against wall (calf), stretch out the hammies, groin, hip flexor, back, whatever else you feel you need to stretch out. Only then should you begin your work out. I know it sounds like a lot when you write it all out like this but my warm up only takes around 15 minutes or so. Secondly, if your push ups are getting harder and harder, it is probably because they are not getting enough recovery time. Try giving them a week off and then do another exhaustion test and start on whatever week you feel is applicable.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the Nike+ Sportsband - I took mine out for a run last night again and I just love seeing the runs appear on the Nike+ and Runners+ sites :) Well done on reaching the 250s!
