whats the point of praticing. whats the point of lifting. whats the point of any drill. To get Better!
Pole funs are the #1 most important drill/activity/excercise simply because if you can't run, you can't vault very high.
Just treat it like a vault. You can work various aspects of your form, speed, whatever, during a pratice vault. Do the same with a pole run. work whatever needs fixing.

you get more comfortable running top speed with the pole, whihc will make you faster on the runway which leads to bigger jumps.
