I'll try raising the feet but that doesn't sound like it makes it harder, wouldn't that require less force to fully push up?  I also did try the diamond but either I can't seem to get my hand placement right, or my wrists are really weak.  What can I do to make them stronger?
 
I haven't managed to do any of these pushups since the weekend.  After carrying my daughter around on my shoulders for around 2.5 miles on Sunday, I woke up with huge pain in my neck / shoulder on Monday, so had to take it easy as any movement intensified it.  First time I've done this for some time but she's not getting any easier to carry [emoji23].
 
It's eased of now, so one more sleep should completely sort it.  I'm hoping to resume these tomorrow and see where it's left me.
Raising legs is mainly to isolate a certain portion of the chest but raising will add slightly more pressure because most of your body weight will be forward. I'm gonna be setting myself a challenge. Using only 25kg dumbells for every muscle group and if I need to increase tension at top throw some resistance bands in there. Will keep you posted on results in the coming weeks.

My running has dried up a little, I still go out for at least 1 run a week but I need to push myself out of the door when I wake up around 7 or 8, otherwise I may not go out at all.  I'm still doing my daily push-ups, some days I don't do them in the morning due to forgetting or being lazy but I pretty much consistently get them done on a night. I've worked my way up to doing 40 a day so far, 20 in the morning and 20 at night.  I'm increasing this by 5 whenever I feel ready.  It's a big difference from when I started and would struggle to do 10 in one sitting.
Rather than increasing reps try different width of arm spacing or raise you feet to increase intensity. I use my couch and have my index fingers and thumbs touching to form a diamond to start them place hands as wide as possible for the next set.
