# How should I track my warm-up/cool-down/running drills?

Warm-up/Cool-down for a competition

You can somehow hide the warm-up and cool-down program in the calendar by choosing the Only icon option in the activity type's Calendar view configuration. Using this option will show only the sport type's icon in the calendar view and let you focus the main race result.
