Using the past perfect in "I warmed up before you arrived."

Hello!

¿Debo usar past perfect para decir "I warmed up before you arrived."?

Ex) Me había calentado antes de tú llegaste.

Can I use preterite tense and say the same thing?

Ex) Me calenté antes de tú llegaste.

When do you use the preterite vs past perfect to talk about multiple actions in the past?

Thanks!
