Nothing wrong with using the treadmill, when you do go back outside, just don't try and run too fast.

I'm a returner (June 2019) and did all the runs on the treadmill until they became longer continuous runs, switched to outside then.

I still do one run a week on the treadmill (speed intervals), the other 2 outside.
