Running in Wildfire Smoke (self.running)

Anyone have suggestions on how to train while dealing with intense wildlife smoke pollution? I'm in the Midwest and recently the air quality got really really bad, so I've been taking a break on outdoor activities. The bad air quality will continue for at least a week if not longer, so I do still want to train. What do people recommend? Just treadmill for the time being? Easy runs with a mask?

I ran 10k in it this morning, we're in the yellow/"poor quality" zone right now. I hadn't realized but found myself coughing a lot during it then put 2 and 2 together. sucks but I don't have access to a treadmill.
