Re Dick Francis' books: I have always thought his heroes' pain showed how dangerous the world can be to anyone. Most of his protagonists have been amateur sleuths and are a lesson to the reader to "not try this at home".

Another of my favorite authors also has her protagonists go though particularly onerous physical trials and always just at the end of her books. That author is Andre Norton.
