Yes, you would be able to run forward. But you are also propelling yourself forward with your legs/feet. The plane is not using it's wheels to move itself forward. The wheels simply have nothing to do with it. They will spin freely if there is a conveyor or not. Having the conveor there only makes the free spining wheels spin faster. The plane doesn't use the wheels to move forward.
You are thinking of a car. A car would be diffrent because it uses it's wheels to move forward. A plane doesn't.
