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.

in my unprofessional opinion, all of the above
Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. - Muhammad Ali

Talent in cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.

you get more comfortable running top speed with the pole, whihc will make you faster on the runway which leads to bigger jumps.
What have you done today to get better?
