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?

We were well over 200 AQI for two days here. As much as I wanted to train I value my lungs too much to mess around.
