Return to the Watch face during a workout

Hello! Please tell me, is it possible to switch to the watch face during training and keep the workout running in the background? I return to the main watch face using the Crown wheel, but after a few seconds the workout window pops up again. I just want the workout interface to remain in the background and the watch to display only the dial. Thank you)

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 26

On your watch, go to Settings > General > Return to Clock, scroll all the way down, select Workout and turn off Return to App.
